Yesterday I posted Dame Julie Andrews' talk at the Perpich Center for the Arts, but in all the rush to get the story on the air I didn't have time to include the audio of our interview, which took place after her talk.

So, here it is; we discussed why she's in Minneapolis, writing children's books with her daughter, and what she's looking forward to doing next with her life.

Warm greetings to art lovers who appreciate a good story, well told in two minutes or less, and shot on iphone video. We call it "Small Tales."

It's a video series MPR's Art Hounds has launched, featuring our illustrious hounds as the storytellers. Two minutes and out. Funky video backdrops. No campfires needed.

We're having so much fun with "Small Tales," we've created a Vimeo channel to showcase them.

Watch our latest installment:
