From Harold Washington to Harold's Chicken and everything in-between and beyond, SoCHiology is the exploration of Chicago culture, history, people, legends, stories, and fiction, through a myriad of discussions with Chicagoans themselves. The most engaging podcast in and about Chicago
Chicago is the greatest city in the world and it's also home to many greats in the sports world; Micheal Jordan, Walter Payton, Candice Parker, Derrick Rose... so many phenomenal athletes have played FOR and COME FROM this city it can be difficult to narrow it down to a top 5 or top 3. On this episode I challenged 3 homegrown athletes to do just that and to voice some unpopular Chicago sports opinions in the Reverse CHicology segment. #sochiology #chicago #sports #chicagobulls #chicagobears #chicagosky #airjordan #derrickrose
If you're a Chicagoan it's a great chance you love chicken. On this episode, three Chicagoans rely on their instinct to identify where these mysterious yet pretty wings come from. Also on the Reverse CHicology segment one participant makes a bold declaration that invalidates your Chicago card if you don't meet a certain condition. #sochiology #haroldschicken #sharkschicken #mildsauce #cps #chicago
Lee Crooks graduated from high school with dreams of pursuing a career in music, but destiny had other plans. After a few career pivots Lee landed in the world of voice acting, specifically narration, and in 1997 he auditioned for the Chicago Transit Authority(CTA). For the past 25+ years Lee's voice has been informing millions of commuters daily which stop they are arriving at, which side the doors are closing, and what El train they are currently riding on. CTA isn't his only client however and on this episode I talk with him about all of that and more. #cta #chicago #trains #buses #voicenarration #leecrooks #chicagotransitauthority
