What do you have to do, see, eat, wear, and keep in your car to be considered a "true" Duluthian?

The Duluth News Tribune's "humanoid reporting algorithms" try to answer this question in this week's podcast. Christa Lawler, our laugh and giggle beat reporter, put a call out to her Facebook friends and the response was overwhelming. 

What do you think it takes to be a "true" Duluthian? Did we miss something? Let us know at podcast@duluthnews.com

What we are into this week: College football, the restaurant Tavern on the Hill, night walks, and lemonade - the beverage not the Beyonce album.

Intern Kim Schneider is our Justin Timberlake to our Jimmy Fallon. In other words, she is one of our most requested (and favorite) guests to have on the show. 

As the summer comes to a close, Kim shares her favorite newsroom stories and her favorite Duluth experiences. Some of which may surprise you or make you question whether or not she is more Duluthian than you. 

Hear about her new rock collection, her most "Duluth" moment and her local karaoke career. If you have additional suggestions of places she should visit before she leaves you can email us at podcast@duluthnews.com and we will make sure she gets those. 

What we are into this week: the television drama series "Sons of Anarchy", the novel "In the Woods" by Tana French, ice cream and public radio.

Tall Ship season is duck season for Duluth native Bob Hom.

As the wrangler of the World's Largest Rubber Duck, Hom's summers are busy spent traveling to various ports around the country and inflating the 61 foot tall, 12 ton bright yellow duck. 

In preparation for Tall Ships Duluth, which begins tomorrow, Hom stops by the studio to tell us about his odd job (not his strangest job of all time though he must admit) and what people can expect to see this weekend.

Just so you know, there is a lot of talk about duck butts in this episode. Can't say you weren't warned. 

What we are into this week: They Olympics (obviously), and reruns of "The OC" and "Seinfeld".

As always if you have a question for a reporter you can email us at podcast@duluthnews.com

Why do we live and/or work in Duluth? What keeps us here? How can we make our city better?

These are a few of the questions a new city survey asks us to think about. This week take a look into the future and describe what we think Duluth will look like in 19 years. 

You can take the survey for yourself at Imagine Duluth 2035 or tell us what you like most about Duluth or what needs to change at podcast@duluthnews.com

What we are into this week: late night television, childhood memories, and the Netflix-original series "Stranger Things." Also Brady calls Christa Chrissy. Not sure where that came from.

Summer is the perfect time to get outside and experience all that Lake Superior has to offer. 

Some prefer to take a quick dip in the lake from the sandy beaches of Duluth's Park Point or watch a stunning sunset in the Apostle Islands. While others get super ambitious and take a road trip driving around the world's largest freshwater lake.

Duluth News Tribune reporter Lisa Kazcke (pronounced "cats ski") recently completed the Lake Superior Circle Tour, driving a total of 1,536 miles in eight days around the big lake through Minnesota, Canada, Michigan and Wisconsin. Kazcke shares her highlights from the trip, including the giant goose in Wawa, Ontario, the Soo Locks, and eating poutine for the first time.

Have you been wanting to complete the Lake Superior Circle Tour? Have you already checked this trip off your bucket list? Let us know at podcast@duluthnews.com

What we are into this week: the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, Little League Baseball, "Sweetbitter" by Stephanie Danler and salad dressings.
