What's it like to visit a big city with kids, and is it actually easier than it seems? In this episode, Alex and Jess share what it looked like to take their families to New York City and Chicago, and why these trips can be more manageable and fun than you might expect. They walk through how these trips came together, including how they used points and companion tickets to get there and where they stayed in each city. They also share what worked well when navigating busy destinations with kids, from choosing centrally located hotels to balancing sightseeing with slower, more flexible plans. You'll also hear real examples of what they did in each city, including Broadway shows, museums, and family-friendly activities, along with tips for getting around and making the most of your time. This episode will give you a better sense of how to plan a city trip with kids that feels both doable and enjoyable.

Original airdate: 10/14/25: Mary welcomes first time guest to the podcast Pastor/Dr. Richard Schmidt to discuss current events. Richard has been an avid student of the Word of God for over 45 years. After giving his life to Christ during a Chicago revival meeting, he immediately immersed himself into evangelism and the study of Scripture, graduating with both a B.S. and M.A. in Pastoral Theology/Christian Education. Early in his ministry, Rich traveled with Evangelist Joe Boyd and preached in various churches and venues, including Chicago's Pacific Garden Mission. Upon college graduation and ordination, Rich and his wife, Valori, moved to Milwaukee, WI to church plant. After the church plant was successfully merged with another, Rich joined the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office to support his young family, while simultaneously serving as an Assistant Pastor. He is currently the pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church just south of Milwaukee and an in-demand speaker. Today we chat about the rampant lawlessness in our nation and how we got here politically and prophetically. We also look at the current peace initiative in Israel, and what are we to expect when there’s a victory lap going on, but we all know that Israel’s enemies haven’t truly had a change of heart. We talk about AI, and its troubling encroachment into Europe. China we expect to be a police state, but why are other nations looking so similar? A full hour with a very sharp brother in Christ.

In the wake of several high-profile domestic violence cases, many ending fatally, the news headlines can feel all too familiar. How these stories are told, who's centered, the language used, and what's left out shapes public understanding. So, how can journalists do better? What should responsible reporting look like? Plus, we explore the options that exist for people experiencing various forms of abuse in Illinois. In today's episode, we hear from: Karen Attiah, a journalist and founder of the Resistance Studies Series; Smriti Shukla, advocacy programs manager at Apna Ghar, a Chicago-based human rights organization; Roslyn Romero, supervisor of outreach and prevention at Pillars Community Health; and Mable Tappler, coordinator for the adult women's program at the Rosenthal Family Lodge shelter at Family Rescue.

Why do Christians still struggle with doubt? While some simply need the assurance of their security, others should honestly examine if they are truly in the faith.

A rare snapshot of house music's early days, captured through an unheard 1986 broadcast from the East Coast pioneer. For Humphries' long overdue debut on the RA Mix series, we publish an original, unedited radio recording from 1986, during Humphries' glorious reign over KISS FM's airwaves at the right hand of Shep Pettibone. Drawn from Humphries' own archives, the Running Back-sanctioned release captures the breadth of his reach at a time when he was breaking records week in, week out—bridging New Jersey talent, European imports and the emerging Chicago sound in a single sweep. Every Friday and Saturday night, for over a decade, Tony Humphries checked in to Kiss FM, bringing the club to the airwaves. Alongside a residency at New Jersey's answer to Paradise Garage, Club Zanzibar, Humphries helped define the sound of garage house on the New York–New Jersey axis. Like Larry Levan, you simply can't think of the city's scene without him. The hour-long mix shivers with spectral vocals and solar-plexus grooves alike, a document of Humphries knack for acting as a conduit for various funk-forward tributaries the world over. A mastermix, indeed. Find the Q&A at ra.co/podcast/1055 @tony-humphries
Principal leadership development is broken — 3 out of 4 school leaders have no coach, no mentor, no one to think it through with. Principal coaching and self-mentorship are the difference between leaders who wait for answers and leaders who generate their own. Corey, a Chicago principal, logged 910 conversations with Digital Danny over one school year — not for generic advice, but to think through the hardest decisions he faced: a staff situation, a career crossroads, a coaching conversation he needed to get right. He called it "almost like your self mentor." That's the category. That's what this is. This sprint on April 30 gives you one hour to experience the framework, watch a live Digital Danny session, and work through something real you're carrying right now. $100 gets you in — and that includes 30 days of Digital Danny access.

AI Kills 10% of Jobs at META. Pentagon Fires Stars and Stripes' Ombudsman. GTFO ICE. Prince Harry Goes to Ukraine—Trump Craps on Him. Friday Football: Draft Weekend. Corruption is the top topic, and it's bleeding into the ranks. A Fort Bragg special forces sergeant just got indicted for using classified intel to bet $400,000 on Polymarket about the Maduro operation. The acting secretary of culture war, Pete Hegseth, is leaking on Signal, firing 21 generals, and floating "no quarter" from the Pentagon podium. Three carrier strike groups are now stacked in the Middle East. NATO allies are being threatened with suspension. And Trump is openly contemplating federal troops in Chicago, New York, and beyond. This is what a sucking chest wound looks like — and the bleeding isn't stopping. Paul sits down with author, filmmaker, and combat journalist Sebastian Junger for a no-BS conversation about the question every American needs to be asking: will the military follow illegal orders? They walk through the murky chain — from a tactical nuke on Tehran to American troops on the streets of Cincinnati — and land on the real circuit breakers that remain: Chairman Dan Cain, the 21 fired generals, and an Angry Middle that still trusts the 82nd Airborne more than it trusts ICE. Plus the GTFO ICE campaign, the firing of the Stars and Stripes ombudsman, the 20,000 abducted Ukrainian children, and why removing Hegseth is the winnable fight right now. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the second study session on Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander is a non-white female with one White parent and one non-white parent. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration, Gus T. anticipates this being one of the **10 Worst Books Ever**. Racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. **Deception by Omission**: Any book that claims to seriously explore prisons and Racism, yet fails to include COINTELPRO, Chicago's Jon Burge, or the profitability of caging black dudes is deliberately lying to readers. Last week's review included: 1. The 10th Anniversary Preface: We analyzed Alexander's claim that the book was a "slow success," despite its eventual and consistent promotion by the System. 2. **Black Misandry**: We thanked Alexander for mentioning that she's often asked why she focused on the caging of black males exclusively - echoing the routine hostility and/or resistance to discussing black males as Victims of White Supremacy. 3. The "**We**" Trap: We examined Alexander's use of the pronoun "we," which lumps Victims of White Supremacy and Racists into one general collective, masking the reality of who is doing the caging. 4. The Skip Gates Incident: We corrected the record on the 2009 arrest of Dr. Henry Louis Gates and the White response that forced President Obama to "recalibrate" his assessment of the arresting White officer.

Donna Summer was a hit-maker for two decades and a dance floor deity for more than three. Her collaborations with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte were formative in dance, electronic, and rock music, influencing everyone from David Bowie and Blondie to Madonna and Moby. But the rock establishment was stinting in its appreciation—whether at Comiskey Park in Chicago in 1979 or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the 2000s. In Part 2 of this encore episode from 2017, Chris Molanphy examines how Summer became the queen of disco … and then transcended that role altogether.Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

On this episode of the 2 Minutes of Motivation: Live Greatly Podcast, Kristel Bauer shares a powerful insight to support health and longevity. Many busy professionals believe that getting in a daily workout is enough to support their health and energy. But there's a hidden habit that can quietly impact both—prolonged sitting. In this episode, pulling from her conversation with cardiologist Dr. Alan Rozanski, Kristel explores how extended periods of sitting can affect your well-being and introduces a simple, effective strategy to counter it: "exercise snacks." These short bursts of movement throughout your day have the potential to boost energy, support long-term health, and enhance overall performance. Tune in to learn how small, intentional movement breaks can make a big difference. Key Takeaways How prolonged sitting is a hidden challenge for many professionals A single daily workout doesn't fully offset long periods of inactivity "Exercise snacks" = short, frequent movement breaks throughout the day Simple movements (walking, stretching, squats) can support energy and health Consistent movement fuels sustainable high performance If you enjoy this episode, be sure to follow the Live Greatly podcast for more short mindset boosts and conversations with world-class leaders, authors, and experts focused on leadership, resilience, well-being, and sustainable high performance. If you're looking to support your team with sustainable high performance, resilience, and clear decision-making in high-pressure environments, Kristel brings these strategies to organizations through engaging keynote experiences.

Let me tell you somethin, Pack Nation — the NFC North just served up a nine-course meal of embarrassment and Big Sal is STILL hungry for dessert.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is FIRED UP. The Packers don't have a first-round pick tonight — Gutey shipped it to Dallas for Micah Parsons and Sal would do it again twice over — but that's not what tonight is about. Tonight is about the holiest day on a Packer fan's calendar with no skin in the game: HATE WATCHING. The Lions, Vikings, and Bears are all about to step to the podium, and Big Sal has predictions, grievances, and zero mercy. Why the Lions will draft ANOTHER offensive lineman at 17 while their defense crumbles — and why "In Brad We Trust" is the most delusional meme in football The Vikings spending pick 18 on Dillon Thieneman while their D-line gets bulldozed by Jordan Love twice a year The Bears and their seven-year streak of ignoring defense in round one — plus Big Sal's snowblower analogy that perfectly explains the Chicago franchise One small, petty admission from Big Sal about being jealous of the teams actually picking tonight Ryan and Kullen are LIVE STREAMING day one of the draft with a full war room setup. Pull up a chair, grab a beer, and hate watch the NFC North with Pack Nation. Smash subscribe, leave a review, and tell your jagoff cousin who roots for the Bears. #Packers #GoPackGo #NFLDraft #PackNation #NFCNorth #BigSal #HateWatch #Lions #Vikings #Bears #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The Phillies have lost 8 games in a row heading into Thursday's series finale against the Cubs in Chicago, and show no signs of pulling out of their early season slump. Is Rob Thomson in trouble? How desperate are the Phillies? Host John Stolnis is joined by Jeff Warren of the Philadelphia Sports Table to discuss the team's awful start and whether it has already submarined their chances of reaching the postseason.
A person's accent can influence the way they are perceived. When it comes to broadcast journalism, the way a person talks is front and center and can open the door to both praise and unsolicited criticism. In our last episode, contributor Arionne Nettles looked at the Southern roots of the Black Chicago accent. It goes back to the Great Migration. Even though many Chicagoans are generations removed from their Southern relatives, some aspects of the accent persist for three main reasons: Black Chicagoans tend to live close to each other, they maintain relationships with family in the South and they like how the accent sounds. Today, we get personal with Nettles, who grew up on Chicago's South Side. She's a journalism professor at Florida A&M University, a culture reporter and author. As a person with the Black Chicago accent, she considered changing the way she spoke to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. She talks about what the accent means to her, and why she ultimately decided not to change it.

Today,we're doing something a little different. You'll be listening in on a coaching call I'm having with one of my athletes. If you've ever wondered what it's like, here you go! I'm talking to PR Teammate Danny and I'm just going to include the intro he wrote for himself, because it's awesome. Danny spent his first four decades avoiding cardio (or any sport for that matter), before hitting a mid-life crisis. After dropping 20 kg, a friend promptly scammed him into running a full marathon as his first-ever race. Plot twist: the friend Did Not Start (DNS) due to injury, leaving him to suffer the 42.2 Km alone. He's been addicted ever since. Now, he's obsessed with the mental grit of the sport and can be found @zidaniey when not busy drenching his kit in Singapore's humidity while battling his shoe-shopping addiction. Danny is training for both Sydney and Chicago this fall and wants to be sure he's scheduled his tune-up races just right. We have runners from all over the world on the team and this was such a fun conversation I know you'll enjoy. And of course, if you want to get in on the fun, what are you waiting for?
