Rebecca Amidon will be the first woman to represent the 32nd District in the state Senate. She talked to a lot of voters — in part because opponents published her personal cell phone number.

Also, we talk with John Sinkevics of the Local Spins website, and host of Local Spins here on IPR Saturday nights at 7. He's presenting a concert in Traverse City tonight.

Reporting for this episode by Austin Rowlader.
