Did you know the @StarTribune recently launched its very first episodic, narratively driven podcast series, "Ghost of a Chance"? Racket's @jaymboller sat down with host @StribRoper to learn more about it: https://t.co/seF3RLcjk0

For almost five years, my husband @StribRoper has been researching the Robinson’s, a Black couple who owned our home in SW Minneapolis a century ago.
Starting Jan 13, their story will be a told as a national podcast from the @StarTribune called Ghost of a Chance.
The wedding arch-turned garden gate @StribRoper and I built for our big day is featured in this month’s @Family_Handyman! They dedicated a whole page to the story of our nuptial woodworking project. And how we’ve now turned it into a permanent part of our home. 🥰
I enjoyed digging through our archives to chronicle Dan Cohen's long and very interesting career in Minneapolis politics. Cohen famously took the Star Tribune to the U.S. Supreme Court -- and won. He died in early April.
