99 - 2016 Year In Review

Welcome to the end of 2016 and the end of the Your Chicago double digit episodes! In this 99th episode, it’s time for our annual Year Review where we take a moment to look back at all that’s happened in our fair city over the last year. Some things you may remember, some you might think happened a long time ago and some you might not know about at all! So join us for the final episode of 2016 as we close out the year and get ready for 2017, Your Chicago’s 6th year and our very special 100th episode! Thanks for listening and have a wonderful holiday season!

98 - Taking Action In Your Community

Meet Casey, a fair citizen who finds the time and energy to take action in the Chicago community. In this episode, Casey helps us answer that question we’ve been asking on the show for 5 years (mostly after Listen Up Chicago): yeah, that’s a problem, so what do we do about it? If you’ve been wondering the same thing, if you want to make a difference but never knew where to start, then start here.
