This Must Be The Place

The podcast that gives you more Twin Cities history and neighborhood trivia than any reasonable person ever asked for.

Welcome to This Must Be The Place, the show where two dudes dig into real Minnesota history, legendary neighborhoods, forgotten stories, and all the oddly specific things that make the Twin Cities the greatest place on earth (and yes, we are prepared to argue about it).

It’s part history lesson, part neighborhood tour, part “I read five books so you don’t have to,” and part “accidentally funny because we’re just built like this.”

Expect deep dives, questionable analogies, unnecessary enthusiasm for local streets, and more facts about Minneapolis / Saint Paul than you’ll ever need in your daily life. But hey, now you’ll be the most interesting person at any brewery within a 10-mile radius.

Smart-ish.
Funny-ish.
Very Minnesota.
