Robyne Robinson on Twin Cities news, emotional equity, and sharing the buzz with Prince

When I decided to focus on this podcast and invite guests who have intrigued me throughout my life, Robyne Robinson was at the top of that list.

Not only was she a news anchor I admired on KMSP, she’s also someone I knew was fostering the art scene in my early 20s through her galleries.

So this discussion wasn’t just a treat, it was the full meal. Throughout our chat, we explore art scenes in Minnesota and New Mexico, Robyne’s remarkable career in news and art, and a concept she defines as “emotional equity.”

This is the buy-in we all feel when we see something beautiful in public that we identify with when a place becomes part of who we are. It’s not just a philosophical idea, it’s the foundation behind placemaking in architecture and urban design.

It’s a conversation about how we see ourselves in the places we live and I’m glad to welcome you in.
