This just proves anyone with a pulse can have a podcast. Please stop, you’re making Chicagoans look dumb.
Funny, informative and full of Chicago pride without sugar coating the truth. Would you consider doing an episode about Resurrection Mary?
Alyssa should get a key to the city for this very informative hilarious podcast. She lays out a story with the flair of a trial attorney and reputable journalistic backup. All the while letting us laugh at the absurdity of her subjects flying too close to the sun. Thanks to Ronnie Karam for introducing me to a wonderful podcast in my own back yard.
Great stories but a lot of dead air like the host is taking a smoke break or drinking.
Loving these stories. The production needs a little clean up - there’s a little cutting in and out but still worth listening to!
