In this week's Short Suck, we head back to the 1930s, when milk wasn't just one of many beverages  - it was survival, income, and power. As the Great Depression crushed farmers, workers, and cities alike, a perishable staple sparked riots, bombings, deadly shootings, and even Mafia involvement across the Midwest. This is the forgotten history of the Milk Wars,  when America went to war... over cow juice.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Packers are heading to the playoffs, and this time the Bears are bringing everybody. Ryan dives deep into the complete injury landscape for Saturday's Wild Card showdown, revealing that for the first time all season, Chicago will have both Roma Odunze AND Keenan Allen—wait, Luther Burden—on the field against Green Bay simultaneously. But before breaking down the matchups, there's a bizarre curveball to address: reports claiming the Packers reached out to John Harbaugh's camp. What does that mean for Matt LaFleur? Ryan examines the strange speculation and tries to make sense of it all. The episode features an exhaustive position-by-position comparison of both rosters across all three 2024 matchups. Key revelations include Jordan Love's stunning 89.3 passing grade this season, the concerning offensive line situation with Zach Tom listed as a game-time decision, and whether guys like Baron Sorrell and Devonte Wyatt's absence will impact the defensive line rotation. Ryan also highlights the overlooked storyline: in the game the Packers lost, Jordan Love only played half before Malik Willis took over. This time, with a (hopefully) healthy Love and the full receiving corps finally clicking, the offense-defense gap could be the difference maker. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The playoffs are here and the nerves are hitting hard. With the Packers heading to Chicago for a wildcard matchup that Vegas calls a coin flip, callers flood the lines to share their anxiety, their hot takes, and their demands for this roster to step up when it matters most. Paul from Missouri drops a fascinating theory about why the run blocking looks elite with backup quarterbacks but mediocre with Love under center—and it all comes down to offensive linemen knowing a run play is actually a run play. Jason from Cali calls in desperate for hype, admitting he can't stop thinking about Saturday's game. Chris from Alabama brings the fire, declaring this team should win and reminding everyone that playoff time means every record resets to 0-0. The conversation gets heated around Rashaan Gary's future—is a post-June 1 cut inevitable, or will the Packers force a pay cut? Ben Johnson's bravado gets roasted as pure insecurity dressed up as confidence. And the bottom line emerges: Jordan Love is a $55 million quarterback who doesn't get to have bad days anymore. His legacy starts Saturday. Sixteen quarters to a championship. Let's ride. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor set the stage for a high-stakes Wild Card showdown as the Bears get ready to face the Packers, breaking down how this rivalry has intensified heading into the postseason. They react to pointed comments from Green Bay's locker room, while also discussing defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley's confidence. With the stage set, Ruthie and Clay zero in on the Bears' keys to victory, breaking down exactly what needs to go right on both sides of the ball for Chicago to keep its playoff run alive. The episode wraps up with final predictions and game picks as kickoff approaches and postseason tension continues to build.

Today On Word Balloon Scene Missing takes a deep dive into Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder, the landmark courtroom drama that shattered Hollywood taboos and rewrote how adult themes could be portrayed on screen.Joining me is Chicago radio legend Dan McNeil, known to generations of listeners from WSCR and WMVP, bringing his sharp perspective and cultural memory to the conversation. We break down why Anatomy of a Murder was so controversial in 1950.From its frank sexual dialogue and moral ambiguity to Duke Ellington's groundbreaking jazz score, and why it still feels modern today. McNeil and I examine James Stewart's career-defining performance, George C. Scott's volcanic debut, and Preminger's fearless refusal to spoon-feed the audience easy answers. This isn't just a film-school autopsy. It's a conversation about censorship, masculinity, truth versus storytelling, and how a supposedly “old” movie still punches harder than most modern courtroom dramas. Smart, opinionated, and unapologetically adult.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by old friend and longtime Chicago sportswriter Barry Rozner to preview the Bears-Packers matchup Saturday in the wild-card round and to discuss a variety of other topics.

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis discuss the looming return of Connor Bedard, who spoke to the media for the first time about his shoulder injury since Dec. 12. They also react to Bedard being left off Team Canada's initial 25-man roster for the 2026 Olympics and examine his mature response and mindset. Pat and Charlie also break down the Blackhawks' 4-0-0 start to 2026, how the team has pulled within three points of a playoff spot, and the impressive play of the special teams. They wrap up the show by previewing Saturday's Chicago sports frenzy, with the Blackhawks, Bears and Bulls all in action at the same time.

Nick welcomes Monica Eng back for her first visit of 2026, catching up as she prepares for a colonoscopy and somehow still manages to be the hungriest person in the room. The conversation moves through the latest local and national stories she's been covering for Axios, along with a rundown of the ten best things she ate in 2025 and five Chicago-area restaurants she's watching closely. There's also a sober moment on how everyday costs keep creeping up for Chicagoans, even when the food is great. Esmeralda Leon joins Nick later to unpack a federal class-action lawsuit against McDonald’s over the McRib and its lack of actual rib meat. That opens the floodgates to a fast food rabbit hole, with stories and laughs about some of the strangest menu items ever unleashed on the public. It's a mix of sharp reporting, food obsession, and just enough legal absurdity to keep things moving. [Ep 419]

The answer may lie in understanding the Law of Attraction and how your thoughts, emotions, and actions work together to shape your reality. In this powerful episode of The Obsessed Podcast, we break down how the Law of Attraction really works, demystify manifestation, and give you practical, real-world tools you can start using today to attract what you truly desire. Join Julie Lokun, JD, Mika Altidor, and Tia Morell Walden as we explore the science-meets-spirituality principles behind manifestation, featuring insights from Michael Losier, internationally recognized Law of Attraction expert and featured guest on The Oprah Show. Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and get Obsessed with creating the life you were meant to live. What Is the Law of Attraction? (00:00:00 – 00:01:51) At its core, the Law of Attraction is based on one simple truth: Your thoughts and feelings create your reality. Everything you experience—relationships, career opportunities, confidence, abundance—begins with your internal world. The Law of Attraction teaches that like attracts like, meaning the energy you put out is the energy you receive back. Thought alone isn't enough.Aligned action is what activates manifestation. The Core Mechanics of the Law of Attraction Positive vs. Negative Energy Your mindset acts like a magnet: Positive thoughts and emotions attract opportunities, growth, and aligned people Negative thoughts and self-talk attract resistance, fear, and limitation Awareness is the first step to shifting your energy. The 3 Steps to Manifestation: How the Law of Attraction Works (00:03:51 – 00:05:11) Step 1: Ask Be crystal clear about what you want. Manifestation tools include: Writing your desires down Visualization practices Feeling the emotion of already having it Clarity creates momentum. Step 2: Believe Belief is the bridge between desire and reality. Trust the process Release doubt and fear Act as if your desire is already unfolding Belief isn't passive—it's intentional confidence. Step 3: Receive This is where many people get stuck. Stay open to opportunities Practice gratitude for small wins Say “yes” when alignment shows up Receiving requires trust and readiness. Manifesting in Real Time: Daily Practices That Work (00:05:11 – 00:09:10) To activate the Law of Attraction consistently: Practice daily visualization Cultivate gratitude rituals Eliminate negative self-talk Take inspired action, even when it feels uncomfortable Manifestation is not magic—it's momentum. Final Thoughts on Manifestation & Mindset (00:09:10 – 00:09:42) When your thoughts, emotions, and actions align, transformation happens. Remember: Be patient—timing matters Stay consistent Trust yourself VisualizePractice gratitudeEliminate negative self-talkTake inspired action And most importantly—get involved and share your journey with us.

The Law of Attraction is the belief that your thoughts, emotions, and actions influence the experiences you attract into your life. Does the Law of Attraction really work? Yes—when combined with intentional action, emotional alignment, and belief, it becomes a powerful mindset and behavior-shaping tool. How long does manifestation take? There is no set timeline. Manifestation depends on belief, consistency, alignment, and openness to opportunity. Can negative thoughts block manifestation? Negative self-talk and limiting beliefs can slow progress, but awareness and mindset shifts can quickly restore alignment. What's the best way to start manifesting today? Start with clarity, practice daily gratitude, visualize your goals, and take one inspired action each day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Paul from Missouri drops a fascinating theory about why the run blocking looks elite with backup quarterbacks but mediocre with Love under center—and it all comes down to offensive linemen knowing a run play is actually a run play. Jason from Cali calls in desperate for hype, admitting he can't stop thinking about Saturday's game. Chris from Alabama brings the fire, declaring this team should win and reminding everyone that playoff time means every record resets to 0-0. The conversation gets heated around Rashaan Gary's future—is a post-June 1 cut inevitable, or will the Packers force a pay cut? Ben Johnson's bravado gets roasted as pure insecurity dressed up as confidence. And the bottom line emerges: Jordan Love is a $55 million quarterback who doesn't get to have bad days anymore. His legacy starts Saturday. Sixteen quarters to a championship. Let's ride. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The Packers are heading to the playoffs, and this time the Bears are bringing everybody. Ryan dives deep into the complete injury landscape for Saturday's Wild Card showdown, revealing that for the first time all season, Chicago will have both Roma Odunze AND Keenan Allen—wait, Luther Burden—on the field against Green Bay simultaneously. But before breaking down the matchups, there's a bizarre curveball to address: reports claiming the Packers reached out to John Harbaugh's camp. What does that mean for Matt LaFleur? Ryan examines the strange speculation and tries to make sense of it all. The episode features an exhaustive position-by-position comparison of both rosters across all three 2024 matchups. Key revelations include Jordan Love's stunning 89.3 passing grade this season, the concerning offensive line situation with Zach Tom listed as a game-time decision, and whether guys like Baron Sorrell and Devonte Wyatt's absence will impact the defensive line rotation. Ryan also highlights the overlooked storyline: in the game the Packers lost, Jordan Love only played half before Malik Willis took over. This time, with a (hopefully) healthy Love and the full receiving corps finally clicking, the offense-defense gap could be the difference maker. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party deliberately ignores and rewrites immigration laws to import unassimilated illegal aliens from around the world. They use empty slogans on equality and affordability while destroying the nation. There are Somali immigrants in Minneapolis who cluster, have large families, fail to assimilate, and exploit the system.  America is at a point of no return unless all of this is reversed under President Trump.  The Democrat party and their media play a central role in violence against ICE. The Democrat governors and mayors, among others, using inflammatory rhetoric and yelling about resistance, not to mention several physically confronting ICE, have blood on their hands today.  They've created a militant environment against ICE agents, smearing them as stormtroopers and alike, and turning ICE agents into physical targets in one city after another. There has been a campaign of organized and systematic violence against ICE in city after city, and the Democrat Party officials almost always and universally use the most provocative slogans to attack ICE.  We don't have all the facts and we are looking at what videos are available, but we do know that you don't drive a vehicle at law enforcement -- literally within inches of at least one ICE official -- in a sudden burst when they are approaching the vehicle and talking to its driver.  Later, in late 2025, the Islamic Tampa Area Muslim Professional Association (iTAMPA) was launched at a Florida Islamic school as a physician-led initiative to create a Sharia-compliant parallel healthcare system within Tampa's growing Muslim Brotherhood enclave.  Tampa is positioned as a hub for Hijrah-driven migration, encouraging Muslims to relocate and build self-contained ecosystems encompassing schools, mosques, halal commerce, residential clustering, and healthcare to minimize dependence on non-Muslim systems. iTAMPA features a Muslim doctor directory, mentorship for generational succession, political engagement, and centralized Sharia governance via an Amir and shura council, aiming for fully independent Islamic communities replicable nationwide, as seen in models from Dallas, Chicago, and Detroit. Afterward, Salena Zito calls in to explain that real America exists offline. The left and some on the right mistakenly assume that opinions circulated and exploited on X represent the true mindset of election-deciding voters, which isn't true.

A statement from Gaslit Nation listener Annie in Minneapolis, Minnesota:  Real Resistance I live in Minneapolis, 6 minutes from where Renee Good was shot and killed today by an ICE agent. I am 39, a white woman, with a 6 year old like Renee. I am on my neighborhood rapid response thread and on another morning it could easily have been me who was shot and killed. I feel grief, I feel rage, but I am also hopeful that her death will crack open something that needs to see the light of day. On Tuesday, dozens of people were brutally kidnapped and taken from their families, but there were no press conferences and no headlines. Today, all eyes are on ICE. Schools are canceled for the rest of the week. My manager wrote to say she understands if we need to take time off. It finally feels like the whole city is grieving in the way I have been for the past five weeks since ICE first began occupying Minneapolis, and the past five months since ICE first descended on Chicago. It feels like I can finally grieve openly. Politicians are taking the occupation more seriously. Governor Walz is talking about the national guard, Mayor Frey is talking about Minneapolis police officers protecting first amendment rights. There is so much the state and the city could be doing to assist and protect people at risk right now, but their opposition has been limited to press conferences, social media posts, and an ordinance that limits the use of city property by ICE. This is really different than playing an active role in protecting and supporting people. Actual resistance could look like tracking ICE apprehensions and accounting for all victims, running a support hotline for impacted families, providing legal aid to immigrants, tracking ICE locations and sharing this information with immigrants at risk, maintaining a list of ICE license plates, serving as constitutional observers during ICE stops, or even just lifting up the work of rapid response networks and encouraging residents to participate. None of this has been happening, and that probably won't change, but I now have a tiny bit of hope that it might. There's a recent video put out by Tad Stoermer, a historian of resistance movements, about the "loyal opposition" that puts words to how I have been feeling. He says, "When the opposition party treats an authoritarian regime as a normal political opponent, […] it doesn't just fail to resist, it just becomes a loyal opposition, [loyal to the system it is operating in.] […] It actively teaches people the wrong lessons about what resistance looks like. It […] tells everyone watching 'this is the only appropriate response. This is how serious people handle this situation.' And when 'this' is press releases, and podium speeches, and fundraising emails, and strongly worded social media posts endlessly about, I don't know, cost of living issues, while the regime is invading sovereign nations, announcing it will run them, threatening NATO and world stability in addition to our domestic stability, what people learn is that the situation might not in fact be that serious." He goes on to contrast this with real resistance, which includes developing organizing infrastructure, building parallel institutions, and building resistance networks. He uses the Underground Railroad as an example of real resistance, and talks about how the "loyal opposition" absorbs energy that could otherwise be used for building the resistance infrastructure that we need. Today, Jacob Frey told ICE to "get the f*ck out of Minneapolis," but he didn't say what he will do if they don't. We need to be thinking about resistance dynamics. When ICE does not get out of Minneapolis, what action will the City take? What actions are we taking to back up our demands? The phrase that keeps repeating in my head today is "Make repression backfire." Collectively, let's channel our grief and rage into making state repression backfire and building a real resistance movement that will allow us to protect people, take back power, and build the world we need.

The playoffs are here, and the emotions are running high as we break down everything heading into Wild Card Weekend against the Bears. Ryan admits he's sitting just below 50% confidence on the Packers pulling off the win, but the callers aren't backing down from their predictions of a Chicago beatdown. Speculation on Jeff Hafley's future and whether Raheem Morris could be a potential DC replacement Breaking down why knocking the Bears out would take the sting out of any subsequent playoff loss Aaron Rodgers sideline flashbacks during the Steelers-Ravens thriller and why it felt good to root for him again The bizarre Eagles decision to rest starters and hand away the two seed Brian Gutekunst's aggressive free agency approach versus Ted Thompson's draft-only philosophy Seahawks loom as a terrifying potential second-round opponent with the league's top-ranked defense The crew digs into whether Jordan Love can tap into that championship mentality, why the Packers offense should feast on Chicago's struggling defense, and what it would mean to send the Bears home in the first round.

Berlin nightclub in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood closed permanently in November 2023, after four decades in business. The closure happened amid stalled negotiations between the bar's owners and its unionizing employees. Today, the space remains empty, and it's unclear what will take its place. In our last episode, Curious City looked into a mural that was a staple at Berlin for much of its existence. Today, we revisit an episode of WBEZ's The Rundown podcast from just after the club closed. In asking some of the people who worked there, danced there and made memories there, it's obvious that Berlin was more than just a bar. “It felt like a secret almost,” said All The Way Kay, who DJed at Berlin for over 15 years. “It felt like something that you wanted to hold very, very close to you because spaces like that really don't exist.” We talked with Kay, queer historian Owen Keehnen, DJ Greg Haus and several listeners who called The Rundown podcast to share what Berlin meant to them and what they hope for the future.

As the federal funding outlook for child care and educational programs looks more and more uncertain, we decided to visit the after-school program at Carole Robertson Center for Learning's Albany Park site.

Kurt Elling returns for a wide-ranging conversation about vocation, gratitude, and what it means to be in service of the music. Elling first appeared on The Third Story nearly ten years ago, already one of the most celebrated singers of his generation and still deeply focused on what he calls "the work I haven't done yet." Since then, he has moved from New York back to his native Chicago, launched major projects like SuperBlue with Charlie Hunter and members of Butcher Brown, recorded intimate small-group albums in the Wildflowers series of recordings, started his Big Shoulders record label, and continued his "poetic practice" of adding new lyrics to instrumental works by artists such as Wayne Shorter and Jaco Pastorius. The immediate occasion for this reunion, however, is something entirely new: Elling is currently appearing on Broadway in Hadestown, playing the role of Hermes. Recorded in an apartment on the Upper West Side during his Broadway run, the conversation moves fluidly between jazz clubs and civic life. Elling speaks candidly about depression, aging, discipline, politics, and the moral responsibility of artists in unsettled times. Throughout, he returns to a central idea: the artist's job is not ego or display, but manifestation — to channel the song so something healing can happen in the room. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story

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.

From Minneapolis streets to South Carolina politics, from voter manipulation to international sanctions, today's episode covers the most explosive events shaping America:

“If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere,” sang Frank Sinatra in “New York, New York.” Rachel Wax traveled from Chicago to follow her dream of making it in the fashion industry. Though she did well and enjoyed her work, her true passion was with magic. She was influenced by “The Magnets” who encouraged her to pursue her magic dream. Soon thereafter Rachel began working at “SpeakEasy Magik” and the “Slipper Room” and other venues around the city as well as for corporate and private affairs. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize We begin our conversation with the beginning of what brought Rachel to New York City: fashion. Please stick with us, even though the first portion of this week's podcast isn't about magic, but rather the garment district and fashion in NYC. We then ease into our chat about Rachel and her magic that was influenced by her father (a professional magician in Chicago) plus her performance on Penn & Teller Fool Us and the many other venues where she makes a mark with her brand of magic.

Bizarre scenes in Chicago saw Jordan Binnington being told to leave the crease after giving up his 7th goal, but he stayed put as backup Joel Hofer was nowhere to be found. New Jersey’s 9–0 loss to the Islanders came despite dominating shots on goal, with Jacob Markstrom left in for all nine goals. There are bigger problems for the Devils than just this one terrible outcome. Winnipeg’s stunning 11-game skid has last season’s Presidents’ Trophy champs sitting dead last at the halfway mark, with Ray noting the roster aged into one of the league’s oldest and visibly slower teams, exposing depth issues beyond their top line. In Toronto, Auston Matthews has rediscovered his superstar form since Christmas, inspiring the room after a baffling 35-game slump and underscoring how much influence elite players quietly carry. Finally, the Islanders’ resurgence has put 19-year-old Matthew Schaefer in the spotlight; while one player rarely flips a team, this kid’s infectious energy has clearly lifted teammates even at 22 minutes a night, injecting a new, faster identity into the club.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
