The Woven Record

The Woven Record

The Woven Record is grassroots local news from Mankato and Southern Minnesota. As local papers close and media companies consolidate, whole communities are left without anyone telling their stories. We're filling that gap.Hosts Becki True and Mike Lagerquist sit down with the people who make up our community: candidates for city council and the state legislature, farmers, small business owners, nonprofit leaders, artists and neighbors. Our Get Election Ready series helps you understand who's on your ballot and how to vote. Other episodes cover what's happening on our streets, from immigration enforcement to food insecurity, and the people working to make things better.Long-form conversations, in people's own words. Local news, made by locals.Share your story: [email protected]
