In February 1946, thirty-four-year-old World War II veteran Jacob Rubenstein stepped off the train onto the freezing platforms of Chicago, carrying a good conduct medal on his chest and hoping his honorable service had finally cleansed him of his chaotic childhood. Instead, his return plunged him straight into a toxic family business feud. Joining forces with his brothers Sam, Earl, and Hyman at Earl Products, Jacob took charge of sales for their lucrative gray-market punchboard operation. But his volatile temper, refusal to travel to secure regional accounts, and constant screaming matches with his brothers soon pushed the partnership to its absolute breaking point, ending in a cold, transactional $14,000 cash buyout that cast Jacob out of the family fold once again.Devastated by the family rejection, Jacob drifted back onto the Chicago streets, his nerves frayed and his hair-trigger temper balanced on a razor's edge. His fierce sensitivity to anti-semitism remained completely unchanged by his years in uniform. In late 1946, a downtown street confrontation with a stranger who hurled a bigoted slur erupted into a savage daylight brawl. Jacob returned home hours later, his hands swollen and raw, and his expensive tailored suit completely drenched in blood. It was a violent warning sign that the pavement of his youth was offering nothing but reminders of his own failures, and Chicago was rapidly becoming too small for a man drowning in his own violent impulses.Jacob's escape hatch came from his closest sibling, his sister Eva Grant, who had moved to the booming, wide-open city of Dallas, Texas, to open the Singapore Supper Club. Divorced, broke, and struggling with construction delays, Eva desperately needed capital and family muscle to manage the rough-and-tumble Dallas scene. Backed by his buyout cash and additional family financing, Jacob packed his bags in late 1947 and headed south into a massive cultural shock. He entered an oil-rich city trying to project an image of clean, white, Protestant conservative sophistication—a place deeply suspicious of outsiders, especially Jewish Yankees from Chicago.To survive and thrive in the cutthroat Texas nightlife, Jacob made a drastic, identity-altering decision. On December 30, 1947, he formally petitioned a Dallas court to legally kill Jacob Rubenstein and birth a brand-new man: Jack Leon Ruby. Yet, even as he shed his skin to appease Texas prejudices, he refused to let go of his past. By choosing the middle name Leon, Jack carried a silent, lifelong tribute to his murdered Chicago union mentor, Leon Cook. Equipped with a new name, a flashy Texas suit, and a pocketful of cash, Jack Ruby was ready to conquer the Dallas night—but the volatile, quick-tempered brawler of Morgan Street was still lurking just beneath the surface.

Death is everyone's unavoidable fate. Death is the legacy of the first sin committed by Adam and Eve.

No one can become godly by osmosis, without any discipline. Some things can be distractions in our way, stealing precious time. In this message from Ephesians 5, Pastor Lutzer explains what it means to "redeem the time" as we are filled with the Spirit. We might be surprised at how much time we waste.

One of the world's largest scuba organizations was founded in the Chicago suburbs by Portage Park pool swim instructor Ralph Erickson. Decades later and Chicago still has a small but mighty scuba diving scene, driven in part by Lake Michigan's many well-preserved shipwrecks. So Curious City jumped into Lake Michigan and talked with people in the local diving community who are carrying on the area's surprisingly-robust scuba legacy.

Over the weekend, Bally's Casino hit the brakes on all non-gaming construction in protest of Chicago's forthcoming expansion of video gambling terminals. We ask contributors Brandon Pope and Anna DeShawn what impact this could have on the $1.7 billion River West development scheduled to open in 2027. Plus, we discuss the rise of transphobia at WNBA games and how we'd spend our last 24 hours in Chicago.    Good News: 25th Ave Glenwood Ave Arts Fest Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

I'm psyched to welcome Easy Honey to Roadcase for Part 3 of my interviews from Lollapalooza which took place in the heart of Chicago a few weekends ago. I sat down with the full band and it was really great to get to know this close-knit group of friends (and brothers)! Easy Honey is Selby Austin, Webster Austin, Darby McGlone and Charlie Holt, and these guys have been absolutely crushing it recently with their Surf Tour on the back of their latest EP, Plaid.Easy Honey's vibe is reflective of their easy-breezy rock vibe and they're as chill as you would expect. Originally from Eastern Tennessee with Selby and Darby forming an instant connection in college, they added the two remaining members and relocated to Charleston, SC — and hence their surf-rock and connection to community were officially solidified. Prolific writers, Easy Honey has a deep and unmistakable love for the music, and that authenticity translates to an inclusive and fun-loving onstage vibe which has drawn in fans as they continue to gain popularity.I'm excited to share this special episode with you!!  Don't forget to follow Roadcase and you can visit Roadcase on Instagram, @roadcasepod!! =======================================Chapters:00:00 - Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg03:31 - Introductions at Lolla and first-time festival memories04:36 - Crowd energy, opening the day, and the band's chill reputation05:43 - Day-one fans and the emotional rush of seeing the gates open07:17 - The Oahu skate park show and how it came together09:04 - Surfing, Charleston roots, and playing in Hawaii and California09:35 - Supporting the Runarounds and the band-meta connection11:14 - Meeting Jackson Browne and why he lived up to the hype13:16 - How Easy Honey started in college in Sewanee, Tennessee14:52 - The “stole Charlie” story and the real version of how the lineup formed15:37 - Why Sewanee's isolation pushed people toward music, drinking, and hanging out19:08 - Moving to Charleston and why the city fit the band's vibe21:41 - The Jimmy Buffett toilet story and a funny family connection23:43 - How the “Traffic Jam” performance idea was born from beach traffic25:52 - Why the band keeps ideas simple, repeatable, and authentic instead of forcing history to repeat26:58 - What Charlie listened to growing up and the metal influence at home27:53 - Carter Vail, tour friendships, and the social side of being on the road29:31 - Why the band released a 5-song EP instead of a full album30:38 - Recording in remote Marble, Colorado and building songs as a package31:41 - How the band's sound has evolved from total spontaneity to more intention and structure33:03 - Who writes lyrics, why writing can get harder, and staying honest in the room34:04 - Surf tour plans, more music, and a return to Chicago later this year34:56 - Episode Wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

In the summer of 2026, the SAS Innovate Tour arrived in Washington, DC, at Convene Hamilton Square.  50 years have gone by since SAS launched with a contract from the Department of Agriculture just down the street. It seemed appropriate to sit down with Caroline Baldwin, the Director, SAS Federal, to discuss how SAS delivers trusted AI for the federal government. Everybody reading this has seen reports of AI giving hallucinations. It is one thing to have a bad response for a doughnut company in Chicago; quite another to have the Department of War base decisions on bad data. Caroline Baldwin brings a refreshing splash of reality to the talk of applied AI to the federal government.   Instead of evaluating the nuances of AI harnessing, she makes a blunt statement, "If government can't apply AI to outcomes for an agency or improve American lives, it's just a science project." Finally, we have a practical opinion. SAS has been working with sensitive federal data for fifty years and has the experience to ingest accurate data and use it to produce practical results for federal agencies. We have heard of the "black box" of AI.  Don't ask for sources.  In Baldwin's experience, an AI system must be able to produce sources for decisions that will be held up in court. During the interview, she mentioned that SAS can leverage synthetic data to produce more accurate models. She also describes how SAS partners with federal agencies to solve complex problems, adapt commercial innovations, and accelerate adoption. As AI evolves, agencies must balance enterprise strategies with mission-level needs while continuously updating models and maintaining trust.

Yes, the Sweat Swing begins this week at TPC Initech, but the FedEx St. Jude does NOT receive Andy's Event of the Week honors! He bestows the title upon this week's U.S. Amateur at Merion, breaking down the early action with Brendan to kick off this Wednesday episode. Brendan is excited to hopefully take in some of the tournament in-person this week but wonders how, in the age of streaming everything, there's been no broadcast coverage of the stroke play rounds so far. The two run through some big names that won't be making it to match play and set up what should be a great weekend of golf at one of America's most iconic championship venues. There is a beefy (or sweaty?) preview of the FedEx St. Jude, complete with an updated weather forecast for Memphis, Tennessee! Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor This Week highlights a surprise appearance from one of the Tour's biggest stars, two Bubble Boys looking to make the Top 50, and one of the best dressed players in the field. The Schedule for the Week continues with the return of the DP World Tour and Michael Block's return stateside for this weekend's Boeing Classic on the Champions Tour. In perhaps the biggest news of the week, Brendan is tasked with explaining himself after getting ratioed on Twitter for just stating that Michael Kim has more followers than Rory McIlroy, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and even the New York Yankees(!) on the platform.

We've officially lost control of the microphones. Welcome to a special episode of Dadville—or as our daughters Zanna and Liv have rebranded it, Kidville. We thought we were the consummate podcasters, but the girls immediately put us in the hot seat to expose our deepest, most embarrassing secrets. We're talking about Dave pre-unwrapping a pocketful of Jolly Ranchers during church hymns so they don't crackle, and our classic grocery store panic calls because we can't find the basil. Nothing was safe—from Ringo Starr's lack of outfit "curb appeal" to the time Ireland's Starbucks cold foam tasted exactly like cardboard. They even recap Liv's legendary Shake Shack sprint in Chicago and grill us on our favorite child. Please listen to this chaotic takeover, buy their upcoming merchandise, and cast Zanna in a movie because she's officially "nice and famous"!

Comedy legend Bill Bellamy joined the show to reflect on his decades-long career, memorable interviews with icons like Michael Jackson and Tupac, and his upcoming recognition with the 2026 Icon Award at Chicago’s What's Funny Comedy Festival. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show covered a mix of entertainment, culture, and headline-making news, starting with reports that Jaafar Jackson is allegedly seeking a larger payday to return as Michael Jackson in a planned sequel to the blockbuster film Michael. Entertainment reports say the movie has surpassed $1 billion globally, becoming one of the most successful music biopics ever and fueling discussions about Jackson's compensation moving forward. The crew also discussed rumors that EJ Johnson, son of NBA legend Magic Johnson, could be headed to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of the cast or potentially in a history-making role within the franchise. Meanwhile, comedy legend Bill Bellamy joined the show to reflect on his decades-long career, memorable interviews with icons like Michael Jackson and Tupac, and his upcoming recognition with the 2026 Icon Award at Chicago’s What's Funny Comedy Festival. The show also tackled a growing national debate over childhood vaccinations after doctors and medical organizations pushed back against a new federal proposal that would split the MMR vaccine into separate shots and alter the recommended vaccine schedule. Health experts cited in recent reports argue that decades of research continue to support the safety and effectiveness of the current vaccination schedule, while warning that changes could create confusion for families and leave more children vulnerable during a rise in measles cases. Elsewhere, the cast weighed in on the latest developments in the Tupac Shakur murder case as jury selection began for Duane “Keefe D” Davis, shared reactions to a heartwarming viral story involving Michael B. Jordan surprising an 89-year-old fan who proudly displayed his photo alongside her grandchildren, and delivered their signature mix of laughs, celebrity tea, and lively conversation.

A fan named Alex sparks debate by arguing the Browns themselves promoted Shedeur Sanders as QB1, prompting Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to dig into whether that's actually true versus a perception built by social media and fan sentiment. They contrast the muted, almost begrudging promotion Deshaun Watson got last year (down to lukewarm "happy birthday" posts) with the sense that any casual outside observer would assume Shedeur is the starter. The conversation shifts into whether Watson is now the "leader in the clubhouse" given his healthier physical traits, before pivoting to debate which preseason game each QB would rather start, weighing the tougher Bills joint-practice week against an easier matchup with Chicago's backups.

DONATE TO BACK TO SCHOOL WITH BLOCK CLUB There's no doubt that Chicago has a literacy problem. About 43% of CPS students grades 3-8 met the state's reading proficiency benchmarks in 2025. But like so many things in Chicago, a lot depends on the zip code. Open Books Director of Education Paula Santos discusses how all of us can become a part of the solution.  Host - Jon Hansen Guest - Paula Santos Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Strong leaders know that facts alone rarely change minds. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Danny Bobrow explore why authentic connection comes before persuasion and how leaders can communicate in ways that earn trust, strengthen relationships, and inspire action.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Danny Bobrow discuss: Lessons from endurance sports and teamwork The Persuasion Blueprint framework Persuasion in digital and AI-assisted communication Building stronger relationships through emotional awareness Leadership communication during difficult conversations   Key Takeaways: Begin difficult conversations by helping people feel understood before trying to convince them. Care and emotional attunement create the foundation for collaboration. Let enthusiasm grow by discovering what already motivates the other person instead of overwhelming them with your own excitement. In digital communication, take time to write thoughtful, respectful messages that provide context and show consideration. Before debating emotional issues, understand where someone is coming from instead of leading with facts alone. Use AI to support your thinking, but preserve authentic judgment and relationships where trust depends on your own words.   "What people are really craving is to be understood, not to be impressed.” — Danny Bobrow   About Danny Bobrow: Daniel A. “Danny” Bobrow is the creator of The Art of First Impressions™ and The Persuasion Blueprint™, communication mastery programs that help businesses build trust and drive ethical conversion. He is President of AIM Dental Marketing, which has helped grow dental practices since 1989, and serves as Executive Director of Climb for a Cause™ and The Smile Tree™.
