Widespread devastation from summer storms, Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize, Duluth elects its first female mayor. 

It's been a busy year full of breaking news. You may have seen our top stories of 2016 list in Sunday's paper, but in case you missed it we are going through them in our own words and also adding a few of our favorites that didn't make the list.

Duluth News Tribune executive editor Rick Lubbers joins the podcast crew as we highlight the Northland's top moments in the last 12 months.

Last week when we recorded this episode, the Northland was experiencing continuous days of temps well into the negative teens. Add the windchill to that and it was around 30 below outside. But that didn't stop this week's guest from enjoying winter activities in the snow.

Because of his job, Duluth News Tribune photographer Clint Austin is regularly outside taking photos for the newspaper. But even before he gets to the newsroom, he is outside on his fat bike, or making snow at Chester Park.

Hear what Clint has to say about making the most of living in Duluth and the Northland during the winter. He also shares some tips on the best clothing and how to take the best winter photos. 

What is your favorite part of winter in the Northland? Do you have any tips on how to enjoy the cold and snow for those who don't especially like it? Let us know at podcast@duluthnews.com

In a relatively short amount of time Duluth's Vikre Distillery has made its mark in the craft spirits industry. 

Emily Vikre, co-founder of the distillery by the Aerial Lift Bridge in Canal Park with her husband Joel, joins us this week to talk about what inspires her to make the tasty cocktails featured in their cocktail room.

Learn more about how the couple with very little experience in spirits started this big venture and how they decided on a name. Hint: there is more to it than just their last name.

Bob Dylan, if you are listening to this, know that there is a seat reserved for you at the Rubber Chicken Theater's 9th annual Holiday Sketch Comedy Revue in Duluth this month.
