Summary
A masked vigilante in Minneapolis who goes by the name of "NoMark" has amassed over half a million followers on social media for his crime-fighting antics. But is that really what the city needs? Host Sean McPherson and contributor Tane Danger discuss. Musician Jeremy Messersmith joins to talk about his new album, “Fox Coyote,” and his April 24–25 release shows at the Parkway Theater, plus his dos and don’ts for hosting house shows. Sean and Tane also get into escalating financial trouble at Hennepin County Medical Center, including leadership turnover and a push for legislative approval to raise a downtown Minneapolis sales tax to help fund the hospital, with potential service closures looming.
