Celebrate with us as we hit the 50th episode mark of our second season, and join in as we send out a huge, heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated listeners tuning in episode after episode. We're diving into a glittering discussion on "Ice Cold: An Exhibition of Hip Hop Jewelry," where we marvel at the craft behind diamond-encrusted Lego minifigures and Nicki Minaj's Barbie pendant. But the bling is just the beginning; brace yourselves for the inspiring tale of Dorothy Jean Tillman, a teen prodigy already on the cusp of defending a doctorate in behavioral health. Her journey isn't just a series of academic milestones—it's a testimony to the incredible potential that lies within the youth of today.

Our candid stories shift from glitz to gripes as we navigate the familiar aftermath of a spirited night out and brace for the imminent cacophony of cicadas returning to Chicago after 17 years. Expect to catch a blend of fascination and mild exasperation as we ponder over the wonders and woes brought about by these noisy, yet awe-inspiring creatures. It's the perfect balance of humor and insight as we explore how this natural phenomenon seeps into our urban lives. 

Finally, we're stirring things up on social media and can barely contain the excitement for what's coming up next. While we sort out a minor mix-up regarding our YouTube channel (videos are coming, we promise!), we extend a warm invitation to our listeners to join the family on Instagram and subscribe for weekly doses of laughter and learning. So, mark your calendars and make sure you're part of the conversation where everyday life gets its fair share of the spotlight—bugs, bling, and all.
