Eskimo Witch 104: NewsTown, Mark Wheat, ice cream and monkeys

Your enjoyment of this episode will be marginally less worse if you check out the StarTribune's new daily video news show, NewsBreak. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges (we hear they're getting a teleprompter) but we applaud the effort and hope they keep trying new things. You know, so we can make fun of them.

Also in this episode: What do ice cream and monkey vaginas have to do with each other? U of M researchers created this animated video to explain how that unlikely pairing may help stop the spread of AIDS. Let's hope nobody cuts their funding.

We also have a sneak preview of an interview we did with 89.3 The Current DJ Mark Wheat and his talented wife Maren, who is an accomplished artist based in the Northrup King studio in Northeast Minneapolis.

Finally, hats off to Marty Owings who was the only person to send us a Stupid Question video. Thanks Marty! There's no expiration date on stupid questions, so fire up your video camera and drop us a line: stupid@mnstories.com

First time I've watched. Anything that takes a swipe at LJ I am in favor of.
