Welcome to the new "5 Minutes Podcast" on St. Clair Shores Patch and St. Clair Shores Radio. This new series will feature 5 minute audio interviews with interesting people from in and around the city of St. Clair Shores.

On this inaugural edition of the podcast, my guest is Karla L. Anderson, the President of South Lake Schools Board of Education. (Full disclosure: Mrs. Anderson is my mom.)

Topics discussed include what's new at South Lake this school year, a new millage proposal from the Macomb Intermediate School District, and reflections on her lost campaign for Mayor of St. Clair Shores.
