The Office of Cannabis Management rejected about two thirds of applications from people hoping to start some of the state’s first cannabis businesses. We hear about frustration from hopeful entrepreneurs and why the state deemed so many applications ineligible.

Wednesday, Nov. 20 is Trans Day of Remembrance. We talk to a new organization on the North Shore about building resilience.

And a wildlife refuge in the state is lucky to be a stop on the migration path of the sandhill crane. We learn about why more cranes are showing up this fall.

Plus we learn about the life of a journalist who changed the narrative around the AIDS crisis back in the 1980s.

Our Minnesota Music Minute is “Shine a Light on Me” by Cole Diamond and our Song of the Day is “Crawling Home When the Morning Comes by Sweet and Lonely.”
