Hello Friends!  This week I had the pleasure to sit and chat with Cris Rodriguez (@grlnxdr2513).  Cris is a former EMT, currently working in a hospital in the Chicagoland area. Valentine's Day has just passed, and I reached out on social media for anyone who was interested in talking about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and Cris answered the call.  She'd been watching the docuseries Making The Mob: Chicago and was totally excited at the prospect of talking mobsters and murder. While getting there, we touch on a bunch of other topics.  Also, I lost a chunk of the audio in the recording process, but the episode turned out great.  Also, there is a treat at the end of the episode, so don't miss that.
