    Mapping MN's Hidden City Feat. YouTuber Chris Parr

    What the hell is going on in North Oaks, Minnesota? That's the question Minneapolis-based videographer/YouTuber Chris Parr set out to answer. In a video from last month titled "I Mapped Google’s ONLY SECRET CITY," Parr explains why North Oaks—an extremely wealthy north metro city of 5,200—doesn't appear on Google Street View, gets into the history of mapping in general, chats with multiple historians and a drone expert, and then gets hovering above the hidden city in question. Enjoy our chat with Parr, and here's a link to his viral video. But before all that, Em, Keith, and Jay went 'round the horn for our regular segment, What I Learned in Racket. Here's what we learned...

    Livestreaming a Crisis Feat. Unicorn Riot

    Ever read this week's Racket feature story and think to yourself: "Boy, I'd sure love to hear an entire hour-long conversation about how Niko Georgiades helped launch Unicorn Riot, provided incredible on-the-ground coverage of the George Floyd uprising, and kept producing livestream video coverage into the present, including during Operation Metro Surge?" Boy, have we got a treat for you! But, before all that, we've got our regular What I Learned in Racket segment, which this week includes an original poetry reading by Keith Harris—*snap, snap, snap.* Catch up below: ICE Cost Lake Street Businesses at Least $46M.

    Covering the MN ICE Invasion Feat. Reporters Madison McVan & Max Nesterak

    Small but mighty, the Minnesota Reformer continues to deliver some of the best Operation Metro Surge coverage in the state. We're fans, we suspect you're fans, so we figured: Let's get reporters Madison McVan and Max Nesterak on the pod to discuss their ongoing coverage of the federal invasion. Here's a link to Max's big feature story; here's a link to Madison's piece about ICE resistance going mainstream. But before any of that, our own small/mighty crew engaged in a spirited round of What I Learned in Racket. Here's what we learned... They Asked for Donations to Buy $10 Burritos. They Raised More Than $10K.Bruce Springsteen and Tom Morello Rouse Anti-Fascist Fervor at First AveGas Masks, Signal Chats, and a Honda Fit: Chasing ICE With Will Stancil Subscribe to RacketCast wherever you get your podcasts—Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, etc. • Wanna advertise on RacketCast?

    Bonus: Life In Occupied MN Feat. Pod Damn America

    You've heard Racket's Jay Boller co-hosting RacketCast, certainly. But have you ever heard him guesting on another podcast entirely? That's the not-so-rare opportunity presented to you here, where you'll find a recent episode of Pod Damn America that features Jay, Unite Here Local 17's Sheigh Freeberg, and host/occasional Racket contributor Anders J. Lee outlining the federal government's current occupation of Minnesota for PDA's national audience. We talk resistance. We talk media coverage. We talk labor solidarity. Jay incorrectly states that Michele Tafoya is competing against Mike Lindell for the U.S. Senate, when in fact Lindell is running for governor.  Be sure to follow Pod Damn America—the preeminent "gothic socialist podcast" featuring comedic news commentary from Lee and co-host Jake Flores—right here.

    No Work, School, or Spending This Fri. Feat. Local Labor Leaders

    Summoning our best Jocko Conlan voice: Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-rike! You won't hear our guests—Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation President Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005 President David Stiggers—use that word, specifically, to describe Friday's "ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth & Freedom," which they helped organize with fellow labor leaders and clergy members. They can't say "strike" or "work stoppage" for legal reasons, but c'mon, you get the idea: Hundreds of local businesses, including Racket, are shutting down tomorrow and urging neighbors to observe a general-strike-ish day of no working, no attending school, and no shopping to protest the Trump's administration's authoritarian immigration assault on Minnesota. Glaubitz Gabiou and Stiggers dropped by the pod to discuss this historic day of solidarity, how their members are enduring Operation Metro Surge, and why workers flexing their power matters more than ever. Before all that, we discuss the Trump administration's siege on Minnesota in a loosey-goosey installment of What I Learned in Racket.

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.

    2025 MN Food/Drink Trends, Triumphs, Catastrophes, and Curiosities Feat. Critic Kirstie Kimball

    It's our last podcast ep of 2025! As such, we invited new Racket dining correspondent Kirstie Kimball of beyond beurre blanc to join fellow critic Em Cassel of Racket to hashbrown out the year that (almost) was in Minnesota food and drink. Recs are offered. Shit is talked. And the seemingly ballooning craft beer bubble? You better believe it's speculated over. See ya in 2026.

    Avoiding Death, Getting Weirder, Releasing Memoirs Feat. Mary Lucia

    Wishing you and yours a joyous and spiritually fulfilling Black Friday. Make sure your frenzied consumerism arrives at What Doesn't Kill Me Makes Me Weirder and Harder to Relate To, the brand-new memoir from Mary Lucia. The longtime Twin Cities DJ stopped by Racket HQ to talk about her book, and my goodness did we enjoy a long, fascinating conversation about Lucia helping launch REV105, becoming the drive-time star at 89.3 the Current, and enduring a stalker who turned three years of her life into a waking nightmare. These days, Looch is teaching the youth how to do radio at our favorite frequency, Radio K. (Editor's note: We're experimenting with new recording software, which slightly f****d up the intro recording quality... skip to the 25-minute mark to hear the Lucia interview in pristine sound.) Catch two, count 'em two, upcoming What Doesn't Kill Me release parties—December 9 at the Granada Theater with past RacketCast guest Lizz Winstead (more info here) and December 10 at the Landmark Center with Andrea Swensson (more info here). Before all that, we field reader voicemails for Turkey of the Year snubs and, of course, conduct another thrilling installment of What I Learned In Racket.
