Windy City Nihilism is an Urban Horror Podcast Series. We do not shy away from touchy topics and the politics of horror, mental health, games, and life as a person of targeted identities. 

It is summer in Chicago and once again protests have taken over the city as the people demand more care and community and less state violence and austerity cuts to public programs. Romero is an experienced activist who is struggling with the constant cycles of organizing, marching and fighting with little noticeable change.  This is a talkback episode discussing the entire campaign so there will be spoilers if you have not listened to episodes 1 -29.  

Talkback Content Warnings: Please be aware that talkback episodes cover a wide range of topics which may be hard for some listeners. Topics include but are not limited to : Suicide, Death, Depression, Anti-Blackness, Racism, Sexism, Transphobia, Police, State Sanctioned Murder, Complicated Relationships, Sex and Sexuality, Hopelessness, Financial Anxiety, and Strong language.
