Host Sean McPherson is joined by Racket co-owner Em Cassel and executive producer Anna Weggel to try to figure out what that means.  Joe Davis, a nationally touring spoken word poet, teaching artist, cultural worker, and community organizer, also joins the conversation to talk about an exciting benefit event coming up this weekend. The team also breaks down the action being taken in St. Louis County to stop a cemetery from leaking more bones into Lake Superior.
