We’re thrilled to introduce you to Lemonada Media’s newest podcast from Lemonada and the Minnesota Star Tribune, Ghost of a Chance. When reporter Eric Roper buys a lovely 113-year-old house in Minneapolis, he becomes completely obsessed with finding out everything he can about its history. But one couple who owned the house 100 years ago hijack all his attention and send him down a surprising rabbit hole into a complicated history few people know. 

As he artfully and meticulously pieces together the remarkable story of their lives, we find out what Harry and Clementine Robinson reveal about the history of race in the Midwestern city that became ground zero for an unprecedented global racial reckoning.
