Small businesses are the backbone of America, and they could all use a boost. With that in mind, the #ladieswhoquestion swoop into action with Let's Talk Local. Lise and Holli turn the spotlight on local small business owners and nonprofit leaders. This week, we learn about the joys and struggles of running Sage Explorers in Lake Forest, Illinois, a darling toy store with a decidedly fun and educational bent. Owner Allison Gurza details her journey from teacher to entrepreneur and her struggles with the impacts of tariffs in the toy biz. She was fascinating and fun, much like her store!

The Ladies take a quick vacay this week and leave you with another chance to find out how to rent Michael Jordan's former home in Highland Park, Illinois, what in the world is going on with flying cars, and the goofy ways that Boomers text. Enjoy our "Listen Again"! We miss you and will be back next week! Ta-ta!

Baseball fans are in mourning today. Famed multiple Golden Gloves winner and longtime Chicago Cubs star Ryne Sandberg has passed away. Ryne lived right here in Lake Bluff, so it hits especially hard. Lisë and Holli both share memories of Ryne around town. Summertime and funny movies go hand-in-hand, and the #ladieswhoquestion are all for it; #nakedgun2 and #happygilmore2 look promising. Some interesting celeb couples might be in the offing...tune in to find out who may soon be hooking up. Thanks for listening!

Holli kicks butt at work and wins an all-expenses-paid trip to Vancouver, BC, and loves it! The #ladieswhoquestion simply had to chew on the Coldplay KissCam Calamity bone a little bit, so they do. And, a few sad goodbyes to three notable folks. Tune in, Turn On, Stay with us for fun!

Nicola MacDonald is not just a young professional cyclist and budding medical professional, she's also a friend of #ladieswhoquestion. It's time for the vaunted and upcoming Lake Bluff Criterium on July 26th, and Nicola is back in town and ready to ride! Lucky for us, she's also primed for some catch-up chit-chat with us. She took an hour out of her training schedule to update us on what she's been up to and all things Aussie since this time last year. Hop on your stationary ride and give this episode a listen! Thanks, please give us a follow and a "like".

Tongues are clucking and wagging, and the town of Lake Bluff, Illinois, was positively abuzz over the holiday weekend.

Tune in right now to find out about our "Naked City"! Ladies have questions...

Just Entertainment today! The Ladies dish big time about the gross excess and conspicuous consumption of the Bezos-Sanchez wedding. Natch, the Kardahsians were all there, even though they weren't all initially invited. Momager said she wouldn't go unless the whole fam got invites...oh no she didn't...Oh, YES SHE DID! The nerve! The newst Golden Bachelor might be a real douche. His lady picks have a severe age limit. It should be a verrrry interesting season. The Idaho murderer gets ripped apart and so does Diddy. It's all in a day's gabfest for the #LadiesWhoQuestion. Please do tune in right now! And, thanks for your time.

A guy wants to marry the AI Chatbot he created. Not kidding. The Ladies Who Question wonder what his human partner thinks about that. The latest invention from the Japanese is one we, and Mother Earth, will greatly benefit from daily. Big money does not class make. Jeff Bezos knows no bounds. His wedding is giving Lisë and Holli major ick for being over the top and gaudy. Seriously, should anybody have that much money? The Karen Read trial is over, at least the criminal trial. We'll be following the civic trial once that gets underway. For now, it's party, party party! Thanks for tuning in! Please follow, like, and subscribe, and tell a friend. We would be ever so grateful :).

Ladies Who Question talk about AI a lot, for a very good reason! We want you to be prepared for the tidal wave of change. Hollywood has sued the Generative AI company, Midjourney, for image theft. Disney and Universal have teamed up to take the company to court. So yeah, it's gotten serious..Also on tap, AI hallucinations and what you need to know to double-check ALL of the information on the Internet. Much of the info is misinformation, or possibly disinformation, if you will. Lise and Holli also grieve the death of musical genius and Beach Boy founder, Brian Wilson. His music was magical and meant so much to so many. RIP, dear man. Thanks for listening, we love our listeners!
