The other shoe just dropped.

MPR News’ parent company announced it would lay off 5-8% of its 500 employees in the coming weeks and make other cost reductions after state and federal funding cuts led to a $6 million budget gap.

Anyway, hire more religion reporters.

The pleasure was all mine! Tune in for an original short story from Mr. Percy, and a great audio doc by @alexveecee

Tune in to @MPR this New Year’s Day for a special program at 1 and 7 PM CST. I’ll be reading a holiday ghost story as part of it. Thanks to @imjacobaloi for inviting me to participate.

[Jacob Aloi @imjacobaloi]

Had the pleasure of speaking with Lloyd Suh for this article. Certainly worth a read!

Had to switch up my regular reporting process to add some fun and flair to this feature I produced on Devon Monroe, one of Minnesota's biggest LGBTQ stars in pro wrestling. It was challenge to bring this to life, but so fun and rewarding!

Re-upping this ask, I’ve had some great convos so far!

[Jacob Aloi @imjacobaloi]

I have a big ask: I’m working on a story about male performing artists who have struggled with eating disorders and body image issues. I would love to connect with some folks who would be willing to talk to me for this story. My email is in the link in my bio.

[Jacob Aloi @imjacobaloi]

Minnesotans are spoiled for choice when to come to what theater performances shape their holiday traditions. Below is my review of a few shows running now.

Nicole has been doing an excellent job this week covering the breaking news of the killing of Brian Thompson from NYC. A true asset to MPR News.

[Nicole Ki ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ 🇭🇰 @_nicoleki]

The past three days have been a whirlwind as the police investigation into the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson continues.

I have been leading @MPRnews coverage in New York from the @Marketplace office to deliver the latest.

@HESherman @DeathBecomesBwy I believe I just saw one for Aladdin as well!

It’s National Coming Out Day! I just want to remind you that you should come out on your terms, when you want to, if you want to.

That’s something that “Heartstopper” champions. The latest episode of Cube Critics is all about season 3.

Take a listen!

Food came out fast! I got “America’s Favorite All-Day Meal” which has eggs, toast, hash browns and beef bacon. There is no pork on the menu, seems all meat options are beef, fish or poultry.

MPR News Arts Editor Max Sparber and I are at Mickey’s Diner! It’s their soft opening, after a number of years of being closed.

[Jacob Aloi @imjacobaloi]

Max is enjoying a Root Beer, while I’m sticking to water.

[Jacob Aloi @imjacobaloi]

Everything here is so brand new, they had to remove the wrapper from the Tabasco.

As Halloween approaches, Twin Cities theater goers can enjoy two shows dealing with horror, mystery and murder most foul. My reviews below.

If you enjoyed my review of Back to the Future and thought “I wonder what this guy’s thoughts are on stage adaptations” fear not!

I have a think piece about that very topic. (It also takes a look at the Twin Cities theater season.)

The DeLorean is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on a stage. Ever.

My review of Back to the Future, now playing at @hennepintheatre.
