    1. Lol, you’re very welcome Chris! It was a good show, a fun conversation between friends. Podcasting is fun!

  1. Hi – love the show, but as a native Chicagoan I would add that any visitor should make sure to check out the lakefront. From volleyball games on the beaches to skate parks to the boats on the harbors there’s plenty to check out.

    1. Thanks Charles, this was not meant to replace a Streets of the World segment on Chicago. I will definitely devote an episode on the Windy City for that segment in the future, it deserves it! 🙂
