RacketCast, Ep. 42: What’s Going on in MN? Feat. ‘Never Post’

Enjoy this bonus crossover episode that originally appeared via 'Never Post.'

The scene on Portland Avenue in Minneapolis over the weekend.

You've heard Racket's Em Cassel co-hosting RacketCast, certainly. But have you ever heard her guesting on another podcast entirely?

That's the not-so-rare opportunity presented to you here, where you'll find a recent episode of Never Post that features Em and NP's Hans Buetow outlining the multitudinal crises (fraud, ICE, killing, general chaos incited by the fascist MAGA movement) gripping our great state.

Be sure to follow Never Post—a worker-owned, listener-funded, locally connected podcast "about what's happening with, to, and on the internet"—right here.
