What is it about softball? “What is it not about softball?” replies Megan Faramio, a star pitcher for the Talons in the all-new Athletes Unlimited Softball League, or AUSL. “I can literally talk about softball for days.” The AUSL is about to wrap up its first season with a three-game playoff series in Alabama between Faraimo's Talons and the Bandits, a team name that Chicago softball fans know well. The Chicago Bandits were based mainly in Rosemont and played in the National Pro Fastpitch league from 2005 to 2019 until the league disbanded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The AUSL said it was “re-introducing” the Bandits brand “to make new history.” AUSL league commissioner Kim Ng acknowledged that pro women's softball leagues in the U.S. have a “spotty” history, but she says this league will be different. In this inaugural “barnstorming season,” AUSL teams like the Talons and Bandits are not yet attached to specific cities, so The Stadium in Rosemont has hosted every team in the small league for many of the regular season's games. Next year, the AUSL plans to attach six teams to six to-be-determined cities, and Ng says Rosemont is on the short-list. “Absolutely, you have to consider somewhere that has a Jennie Finch Way,” Ng said, a reference to the team's legendary former player and the street named after her where Rosemont's pro softball field is located. In our last episode, we looked back at Chicago's first professional women's softball league from the 1940s and ‘50s — one that featured business-sponsored teams like Parichy's Bloomer Girls or Brach's Kandy Kids. That softball league rivaled the pro women's baseball league featured in the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own.” Today, we're exploring this new chapter in professional women's softball history. What's going to give the AUSL staying power? And what's all the hype about? We asked Talons star Megan Faraimo, Commissioner Ng, and — at a sellout crowd on a hot day in Rosemont — the fans.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to Jerry Jones going full heel at Dallas Cowboys training camp by taking shots at Micah Parsons while still knowing he'll cave and pay him anyway. JT explains why Jerry—not Dak Prescott—is the biggest thing holding the Cowboys back from another Super Bowl and breaks down how his control obsession is wrecking the franchise from within. Then he goes all in on the Baltimore Ravens' 2025 Super Bowl expectations and puts John Harbaugh on the clock, calling out the hypocrisy in how fans give Harbaugh a pass but attack Mike Tomlin. JT says if Lamar Jackson doesn't win it all this year, it's not on him, it's on the coaching. JT also gives Ben Johnson his flowers for how he's already changed the entire culture of the Chicago Bears after one training camp practice and why his day-one move benching the whole offense is the start of something special in Chicago. Then it's time to rip the New York Giants, who JT calls the most clueless QB room in football with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito, and Jackson Dart in a battle that makes zero sense. JT closes out with a passionate breakdown of why Quinten Johnston might be on the verge of a breakout season under Jim Harbaugh and gives a heartfelt farewell to Tyrann Mathieu, calling him one of the greatest redemption stories the NFL has ever seen.

Sometimes, “just get through it” is the worst advice ever. In this Losers Are Winners episode, Mark sits down with Allyson Case of Integro Builders to unpack what happens when you ignore your gut, protect the wrong people, and stick with a project that should've ended ages ago. From bad architects to bad breakups (and the clients caught in the middle), it's a brutally honest peek at how one of Chicago's top builders learned when to call it — and why consistency is kinder than favors.

“So I'm in Chicago, I've quit my job, I've almost run out of money. You know, you're young, you don't care. And I met Robert, who's now my co-founder. He had mixed a CD of mine a couple of years before through friends of friends. So we meet up, have a beer, and then he's like, ‘Oh, you know, I'm spending all this money on IT every month,' because he was a sound engineer. And he's like, ‘But we've got this thing called the internet, right? I thought, ‘I've got 1 MB internet in my studio, why can't I use that? It's free.' And I was like, ‘Yeah, let's do it.' And because I, you know, had been doing software development and the internet, it just made sense. The two of us really bonded, and I went home to New Zealand and he stayed in Chicago, and we built Source-Connect.” – Rebekah Wilson This episode's guest is the co-founder, technical director, and CEO of Source Elements, and has worked for over twenty years with customers and industry partners like Avid and Dolby. Since the release of their pioneering remote audio app Source-Connect in 2005, she's advocated for the benefits of remote collaboration in all sorts of areas, including sound engineering, voice acting, music performance and production, film and cinema production, and education.Originally trained as a composer, she's now a software developer and expert in the fields of music technology and networking, and, as a New Zealand native, she understands very well how important it is to stay connected no matter where we are. Her name is Rebekah Wilson, and you'll want to hear what she has to say about how Source Connect is making our creative lives easier, what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated field, and where she sees this technology going in the future.

(0:00:01) - Musical Journey to Tech InnovationWe start off with Rebekah's early memories of her father playing the guitar, and how it helped spark her love of music. “I must have been four or five,” she tells us, “and I can see the house that we were living in at the time. So, yeah, around their age and um, just those lovely, warm feelings.” She shares her experience growing up in New Zealand and how quickly things changed as the internet began to connect the world. “I went out and told everybody,” she explains, recalling the day she learned about Princess Diana's passing on a web forum. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God.' And they're like, ‘How do you know? The internet? What, that's crazy!' And so it was like one of those first moments of finding out that you can connect to the rest of the world with this medium.”(0:11:06) - Navigating Gender Dynamics in TechRebekah shares her journey from orchestral composer to tech entrepreneur in the ‘90s, and just how much things have changed for women since those early days. “I went in for the job interview and, uh, they, they show me where the programmers work,” she explains. “It's a dark room in the middle of the building with no...

Almanac Beer got lots of people (including the hosts of this podcast!) talking earlier this summer when it announced it was ditching the word “taproom” and rechristening its Alameda, California-based location as Alameda Adventureland.   There was a lot more than alliteration and snappy branding behind the move. Eschewing the “taproom” part of its name made way for Almanac to embrace all the other things it had become: a gathering space for all members of the community, whether or not they drank beer.   In the fourth and final installment in the Brewbound Podcast's Learning Lounge: Taproom Tactics series, Almanac EVP of sales Kevin Scoles details the brewery's transformation of its own-premise location from a taproom to a full-blown, family-friendly entertainment space.   In addition to Scoles' conversation with Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante, this episode highlights news from Calicraft Brewing and New England Brewing Company, as well as Brewbound reporter Zoe Licata's trip to Chicago, and remembers New Albion Brewing co-founder Jack McAuliffe.

When they say “make yourself at home,” they usually don't mean from a past life. But that's exactly what it felt like she stepped into their grandparents' new Chicago apartment—immediately recognizing the layout of a place they'd never been. What followed were years of ghostly pacing, floating razors with a vendetta, and a rocking chair that really needed to chill. Even Grandpa, a tough-as-nails WWII vet, wasn't immune—waking up with mysterious scratches and a strong desire to evict the invisible tenant. Turns out, the former resident might still be hanging around… literally. Welcome to the apartment that just won't let go.

Reset digs into how Chicago can keep up momentum despite federal funding cuts with Vaughn Bryant, executive director of Metropolitan Peace Initiative; Garien Gatewood, deputy mayor of community safety for the city of Chicago; Michael Harris, outreach worker at the Institute for Nonviolence Chicago; and Katie Hill, executive director, University of Chicago Crime Lab.
