Daydreaming of registering for a marathon or in the thick of training? Wherever you fall on the marathon-spectrum (including “no way, no how!”), you'll enjoy this episode. Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat talk to four “regular” runners about their debut marathon pursuits. They cover topics such as: -their marathon motivations; -the satisfaction of setting and striving toward a goal; -how the run/walk method makes 26.2 attainable; -the “delicious pain” that comes with covering the miles; and, -the mountain of laundry generated during training! Before the first marathoner joins around 10:38, the hosts share about their first marathons—and Chicagoland's “garbage hills!” Register for our Lake Placid retreat.  When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.

I've always been fascinated by the use of Remote Cameras, but it's not something I've had the chance to try, unfortunately. The last time I cover it on the show was on the episode Using Remote Cameras with Canon Explorer of Light David Bergman, and then I also had the legendary Peter Read Miller Miller talking about how he used them in Sports Photography. I, however, had never thought about using them for Wedding Photo Photography, that is until I was talking to Canon Explorer of Light Bob Davis at Imaging USA this year. His presentation on the Canon stage was on just that topic, and after watching how he was using remote cameras, in his case for both wedding and wildlife photo, I knew this would be a conversation a lot of people might find fascinating. Bob & Dawn Davis are an international wedding photography and design husband and wife team based in the Chicagoland area. When I first met them back in 2020 for an interview at WPPI, it was immediately clear that this couple was an amazing team. I've since seen them both together, or as part of a panel, or individually, on the Canon stage at a conference multiple times, and the passion they bring to what they teach is amazing. What a lot of people don't know is Bob's history behind the camera. Bob began his career in the newspaper industry as a photojournalist, and over drinks one day, while we were looking through his old Chicago Bulls photos on his phone, I was blown away how this guy can shoot anything so damn well. The last time he was on the show was for an episode about Bob and Dawn's wildlife photography: Photograph in the Wild. Bob & Dawn Davis Photography & Design has a client list reads like a “Who's Who” of entertainment's elite. They have had the honor of photographing “A” list weddings such as Eva Longoria & Tony Parker's wedding in Paris, Salma Hayek & François-Henri Pinault's wedding in Italy, La La Vazquez & Carmelo Anthony's TV wedding in New York, Tracey Edmonds & Eddie Murphy's wedding in Bora Bora, ABC's TV show The Bachelorette Ashley's wedding to J.P. in California, along with many other fabulous events with Oprah Winfrey. Bob was also commissioned to work on the book America 24/7 that was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show and was a New York Times Best Seller. Their work has been featured in publications such as People, OK, O Magazine, InStyle, Inside Weddings, Town & Country, Munaluchi, Grace Ormonde, Modern Luxury Brides, The Knot, Ritz-Carlton magazine, Professional Photographer, Rangefinder, Popular Photography and more. Bob is in that small and highly elite group of photographers known as Canon Explorers of Light, along with being a member of the Westcott Top Pro Elite, SanDisk Extreme Team, and a ProMedia Gear Influencer. Together Bob and Dawn are the authors of two books, Lights Camera Capture, and We're Engaged! Earlier I used the word "passion" when talking about their willingness to teach and share their craft, but that word can be used to describe many areas of Bob and Dawn's world. They are passionate about their faith, their marriage, their family, and making the best of their lives. This a power couple. Bob and Dawn also lead wildlife photo workshops to places around the world, like Africa, or Alaska for their Alaska Brown Bear Adventure Workshop, which at the time of this writing still has 3 spots left for their next trip in Sept of 2025. Join Canon Explorer of Light Bob Davis and me as we do a deep dive into how Bob and Dawn use remote cameras on their wedding shoots, and we'll touch a little on how they use them for wildlife shoots too, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

Send us a textHi everybody and welcome back to the Attendance Bias mini series of previewing each venue of the Phish 2025 summer tour. By now, we've gotten the scoop on the SNHU Arena in Manchester, The Pete in Pittsburgh, the Moody Center in Austin, Folsom Field in Boulder, the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, the North Charleston Coliseum, and the Mann in Philadelphia. We are nearing the end of this series as our episode today focuses on Phish's three-night run at the United Center in Chicago on July 18, 19, and 20. Today, I am joined by Brendan, longtime resident of the Chicagoland area, and he has seen his share of Phish shows in and around the Windy City. More to the point, he has seen tons of sporting events at the United Center, and attended two out of Phish's three inaugural shows at the massive arena in the fall of 2023. Since Phish has only played one previous run at the United Center, there isn't a lot to dig into there, but there is a ton to talk about when it comes to Phish's Chicago history, the background of the venue itself, and obviously, recommendations for things to do around Chicago during this three-day run. Let's join Brendan to talk about it all.

This week on the Windy City Benders Podcast, the guys dive into a busy week of Hawks headlines starting with all the noise coming out of the NHL Combine. Cam Robinson suggests the Blackhawks are eyeing Michael Misa and could look to move up in the draft, while Ben Pope reports Kyle Davidson says the team's internal draft board is still unfinished. With uncertainty around how teams like the Islanders and Sharks will draft, the top of the board remains wide open — and the Hawks are keeping options flexible.We also talk about the Hawks reportedly skipping combine dinners, their possible shift away from prioritizing elite skating, and the strong internal stance on keeping Bedard and Nazar at center. Expect wingers to be the focus — and don't rule out an aggressive trade up if the right name is there.Then we touch on the CHSN Xfinity update as the highest-tier service becomes the go-to for Hawks games, sunsetting over-the-air options in the Chicagoland area. What does this mean for fans?Plus: could Nikolaj Ehlers be a real fit in Chicago?

Biodiesel is growing in the Midwest, and Illinois is a primary example. The folks accelerating biodiesel programs just south of us also want to see Wisconsin expand biodiesel usage. Stephanie Hoff was recently in Illinois and Chicagoland with Clean Fuels Alliance America, looking at the whole chain of biodiesel production from the beans getting dropped off at the plant to riding on a boat on the Chicago River that runs on biodiesel. The state has tax incentives for using biodiesel, and it’s also helping advance sustainability goals. Pete Probst is the president of Indiginous Energy, which is a renewable energy consultant, working with groups like the Illinois Soybean Association and the Chicago Park District. Pete tells Stephanie Hoff that he loves renewable diesel so much, he rigged up his own ride back in the day to run on used cooking oil. He also talks about his role helping members of the B20 Club -- a partnership between the Illinois Soybean Association checkoff and the American Lung Association. It supports fleets running on biodiesel blends of 20 percent or higher. More showers possible today, but it's the wind you'll likely notice. That's the update from Stu Muck. Summer camp is something many kids look forward to. While the initial goal might be just having fun, it doesn't hurt to include some educational experiences too. Ben Jarboe finds out about the 4-H Summer Academy. It offers attendees a variety of track-based activities, seminars, campus tours, performances, and hands-on experiences.

Biodiesel is growing in the Midwest, and Illinois is a primary example. The folks accelerating biodiesel programs just south of us also want to see Wisconsin expand biodiesel usage. Stephanie Hoff was recently in Illinois and Chicagoland with Clean Fuels Alliance America, looking at the whole chain of biodiesel production from the beans getting dropped off at the plant to riding on a boat on the Chicago River that runs on biodiesel. The state has tax incentives for using biodiesel, and it’s also helping advance sustainability goals. Pete Probst is the president of Indiginous Energy, which is a renewable energy consultant, working with groups like the Illinois Soybean Association and the Chicago Park District. Pete loves renewable diesel so much, he rigged up his own ride back in the day to run on used cooking oil.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Four decades on the faded Polaroid picture still defies belief. Frozen forever within the white square frame, nine youths on their hands and knees stacked atop one another to create a playful pyramid. Their expressions range from slight amusement to outright glee. It was the Eighties in Chicago, Illinois when the Polaroid image was snapped. It appears as if it could've been taken at a birthday party, family reunion or holiday celebration. Only it wasn't. It was taken minutes after a cold-blooded murder.  Moments before, within the same walls, 40-year-old Nancy Knuckles was strangled to death by her 17-year-old daughter and her daughter's boyfriend, while a houseful of their friends were present. When the rest of the group, including Nancy's other daughter and son, discovered the scene, they didn't alert authorities. Instead, they cracked beers, turned on music and went about their day.  Over 40 years later, the case remains one of Chicagoland's most hotly debated. The central question: who was Nancy Knuckles and did her own actions contribute to her brutal death?
