  • The Pedway System

    Happy MLK Jr. Day!! We are excited to talk about one of Chicago's hidden gems, the pedway! It's a fun, confusing system that we all love and wonder about. We invited our guest Elizabeth Blasius to try and help make some sense of it. Then we hopped on the redline towards Chinatown to try a new hotpot spot, Shoo Loong Kan! That was a very fun experience. Check it all out!

    **Also, check out our brand NEW website!**

  • Episode One

    We finally did it. We released episode one after almost 80 weeks of captivity! We don't expect you to learn anything in this episode, but you asked for it, so here it is. 


    Listen along with us as we play back our very first recording! We haven't listened to this since we first aired it! We have grown so much! We visited Cere's Table as our first restaurant and Johnson's Ice Cream the first time around. This time we added Crmd Ice Cream to the list! Get ready for this throwback!
