Shellyne Rodriguez is a badass visual artist, organizer, and Bronxite. She organizes with Take Back the Bronx, a collective of creators and citizens fighting gentrification, and has visual art featured all over the city. Her visuals remix and reimagine the material representations of community, loss, and false hope into collage and sculpture, connected yet levitating. She works with the Museum of Modern Art's Educational Programming, overseeing organizational and school partnerships across the five boroughs. Recorded 2/1/18 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York

The comedian, writer, and cultural critic shares the stories, questions, insecurities, and challenges many of us struggle to ask about relationships, monogamy, and sexuality, and spins them hilariously toward a liberatory perspective. In addition to doing standup all over Chicago, she writes about television for the Onion, and has a day job where she spins your public data into profit.

He's also a very dope rapper, and speaks in CPS classrooms across the city. Recorded 12/12/17 in Chicago Music from this week's show: Already - Kemba

He's also rocking his way from one lab to another as a student at DePaul, where he studies Biological Sciences.  Recorded live 12/21 at WHPK 88.5FM in Chicago Music from this week's show: Spin - @bedows
