On Girls’ Night Out with Hannah Stanley: Connor McKnight joins Hannah to talk about dishonesty and the NFL. After that, Hannah and Producer Rachel explore the origins of Chicago neighborhood names. Next, Selfies: the good, the bad, and the ugly. This and more on the show!

Hannah Stanley discusses the topic of the selfie. A recent study showed that females between 16 and 25 spend five hours a week on crafting the perfect “selfies.” This is, arguably, not the best use of time. However, a woman from Arkansas with skin cancer is using selfies for good. Listen below:

Cheaters never win…or do they? “Deflategate” has been the word on everyone’s lips lately; Tom Brady is being disciplined, but his jersey is flying off shelves. What is the recent lack of discipline in the NFL doing to the world? Can we utilize these scandals as teachable moments? Will players’ values diminish due to lack of trust?  Hannah Stanley and Connor McKnight ponder this and more.

Chicago is a city of many neighborhoods, but how did each get it’s name? Hannah Stanley has the answers for Producer Rachel and listeners.  

Illinois is one of only two states in the country without a law requiring motorcyclists to wear helmets. With the nice weather finally here, more cyclists are on the roads, and they are a mixed pool when it comes to wearing helmets. Listeners chime in, Susan has the Traffic stats, and a couple of special guests join as well. Should we have a law requiring all motorcyclists to wear helmets?   https://tribwgnam.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/gnomotorcycles0502.mp3
