Minnesota is home to a thriving pagan and witchy community, and the solstice is a great time to get involved. Dr. Chantel Rodriguez, public historian and host of Minnesota Unraveled, tells us about the largest publisher of New Age books, which calls our state home. Plus, Darius Gillard from MN Opera wants to convince you to watch opera.
