## Resource

In April, the city of St. Paul banned influencer Josh Liljenquist from visiting St. Paul public parks for allegedly "harassing, recording, and profiting from vulnerable adults" and subsequently repealed the ban after an appeal from Liljenquist. On today's episode, Liljenquist talks with host Sean McPherson and contributor Hans Buetow about how he goes about creating his "kindness content" and what happens when he's not filming. Later, Hans and Sean celebrate some Twin Cities Wins, and the whole City Cast team joins for a Neighbors-only segment to play a game and share about the time producer Adam Sage almost died at Minnehaha Falls.
