Host Robin Washington provides a look into the Catalyst Content Festival, formerly known as ITV Fest. The festival's executive director, Phil Gilpin, Jr., answers questions about the state of the festival's finances. The event is coming to Duluth, and it's considered a draw for budding TV producers who want to exhibit their work and possibly pick up a contract with HBO or Netflix.
Plus, Washington interviews former KUWS hosts and local media stars Duke Skorich and Patty McNulty, as well as a visit by a delegation from Duluth's sister city of Ohara Isumi-City, Japan. The visit serves as a counterpoint to this week's fireworks by providing the more soothing sounds of the Peace Bell at Enger Tower and a Japanese Tea Ceremony at the Duluth Women's Club.
Also, we take a look back on some of the news of the week, including the national Rainbow Family gathering in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
