This week on the Streetwise podcast we belatedly ring in '22, enjoy a reading of Barb Shelley's predictions for our Midwest political 2022 maelstrom, jam out to Jo Blaq's track "New Day", and chat with director Blake A. Miller about his new documentary The City of Dried Fountains. Also: a bonus reading of Abby Olcese's profile on the film Procession.
