During Donald Trump's first term, Chicago was a frequent punching bag for the Republican president, who zeroed in on and often inflated the city's issues with violence. As Trump is sworn into office for a second time, are Chicago and Illinois in his crosshairs, and if so, how will Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson work with or against the new president to protect his progressive agenda? Reset sits down with the mayor to hear what is top of mind for him with the new administration. Chicago Sun-Times reporter covering government and politics Mitchell Armentrout also joined the conversation. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Illinois loses an 80-78 heartbreaker to Michigan State in East Lansing, falling to 5-3 in Big Ten play. Mike Carpenter was at the Breslin Center and discusses the frustrations of the game, specifically Kasparas Jakucionis being limited to a mere eight minutes due to foul trouble. Brad Underwood's team does have a favorable stretch coming up, during which they can stack wins and potentially get back in the conference race. At the end of the podcast, Mike talks about an Illini Guys publishing a story about an unfounded rumor last week, and how credentialed media need to follow basic journalistic principles.

Derek and Kyle break down the Illini's loss in East Lansing and share their opinions on the officiating and impact of KJ's foul trouble. The guys also break down what went wrong with KJ off the floor down the stretch.

Takeaways Time seems to fly by, especially in hunting seasons.Shed hunting should be done with caution to avoid stressing deer.Many deer still hold their antlers well into March.Misrepresentation in the hunting consulting industry is a concern.Proper land management can significantly enhance hunting properties.Young hunters bring enthusiasm and passion to the sport.Community events are vital for engaging the next generation of hunters.Technology, like cell cameras, has changed hunting dynamics.Ethics in hunting should evolve with technology.Finding a big buck is harder due to increased competition and technology.  The competition for mature deer is increasing due to declining populations.State DNRs play a crucial role in managing deer herds effectively.Building fences is becoming a common practice among serious hunters.Creating a sanctuary involves strategic planning and understanding deer behavior.Cedar trees can carry diseases that affect apple trees, but not others.Regulatory changes in Illinois could improve the hunting experience, but require lobbying efforts.Nutrition during gestation is important for deer, but genetics also play a role.Woodsmanship skills are essential for successful hunting and understanding wildlife.Feeding strategies should be adapted based on individual deer behavior and preferences.Supplemental feeding is critical during winter months when food is scarce.

Say his name five times in a mirror, and Candyman, a vengeful spirit born from love, betrayal, and unspeakable violence, will appear to continue his blood-soaked legend across generations.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: If you look in a mirror and say his name five times, he will appear behind you, complete with a hook for a hand – covered in blood because his hand has been cut off. Isn't that romantic? No? Well, Clive Barker's 1992 horror cult classic “Candyman” actually began as a real-life love story. So how did it turn so gruesome and terrifying? (The Nightmarish Love Story Behind Horror's Candyman) *** The Enfield Poltergeist has become infamous thanks to Ed and Lorraine Warren and “The Conjuring” films. That took place in a house in Brimsdown, Enfield, London England. But on the other side of the pond there is an Enfield, Illinois. Not as well known as the one in England of course, but they still have a horror in their past. One that took place four years before the Enfield incident in London… about a terrifying creature that locals who were alive at the time still get goosebumps talking about. (The Horror of the Enfield, Illinois Monster) *** Complex family dynamics and an infatuated businessman ended in a murder that was covered up and remained hidden for three decades, buried in the grounds of the house at 10324 Canyon Road. (A Dark Secret Leads To a Death On Canyon Road) *** One girl decided to go by the name of Lila, because her true name was Delilah but she didn't want to be associated with that harlot in the Bible. The stories behind how people get nicknames can often be fascinating. So how do you supposed Margaret Dickson got tagged with the nickname of “Half Hangit Maggie”? (Half Hangit Maggie) *** The search for intelligent life in the universe has been a goal for decades, with everyone from NASA to SETI to backyard Ufologists looking to the skies, listening to various radio waves, hoping to catch just a glimpse, at least a hint of what we hope to find. But could it be that we're looking in the wrong place? Perhaps the extraterrestrial intelligence, the more advanced life we seek to make contact with, is not out there somewhere… but it is here somewhere… already on Earth? (There Might Be Intelligent Life On Earth After All) *** Too often we are let down by those whom we look up to – and that goes doubly so for those in religious authority. How many well-known religious figures have toppled over after being exalted on high by the followers they so skillfully misled? Jim Bakker, Robert Tilton, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart… but none compare to Major Thomas Weir – a strict Presbyterian known for his powerful prayers, earning him a reputation for being one of the most saintly men of his time. But then he made a confession so outlandish, so ghastly and profane, they executed him.

Lon and Derek discuss Michigan's loss at the buzzer in Minneapolis last night and how much that helps Illinois' Big Ten title chances. Later, the guys discuss the latest news on revenue-sharing in college athletics.

It has been a long time since I've covered a destination. And the dead of winter is as good as it gets when it comes to talking about travel. On one hand, it is fun to daydream about trout when it is frigid outside. It is also a great time to start putting plans together to make a few trips. But in the case of this week's area of focus, you could actually head there and fish dries today. And it isn't a tailwater down south. It is in the heart of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and parts of Iowa and Illinois. I give a quick synopsis of why you should fish the Driftless. And to put a fine point on it, I tack on an apologetic for the Pink Squirrel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A small group of the gang is back together to discuss all things Mizzou Olympic sports. The episode starts with the trio discussing what they've missed most about CoMo in their time away, while also voting on a new Illinois state flag at Matthew's request. Then they jump into the show with some extensive talk about Tiger Style's continual issues and historically bad start, before Karen shares updates on behalf of Dylan about the state of women's basketball, which leads to a lively discussion about why fans should still support this team and the opportunities they have to grow as the season is still young. Karen then shares some updates (some good and some not so good) from gym's performance at the Denver quad, peppered in with extensive comments from Shannon Welker's Tuesday press conference. Short rest is hopefully good for this team as Friday the Tigers take on 6-time national champs Oklahoma in Norman. Abigail is next with some exciting track updates from the indoor season, which has kicked off with a bunch of home meets at Hearnes Fieldhouse. Personal bests were in abundance, and it will be awesome to see their continued improvements and see the team in action! Finally, the group wraps up with some diamond sports updates as softball receives a no. 15 preseason ranking from Softball America and CC Harrison is ranked in the pitcher power rankings. Matthew follows up with baseball's extremely tough schedule-- yikes! Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next time!

Indiana men's basketball has some serious issues, most of which were laid bare in the 25-point home loss to Illinois earlier this week. We discuss the difficult situation that the program and the athletic department are in, and the likelihood that things get uncomfortable and unpleasant over the next two months.

The Indiana House Speaker has introduced a plan to create a bi-state commission to look at bringing some Illinois counties into his state.

This week, we swing into the new year (2025), with Mickey engaging media scholar Nolan Higdon. They discuss the incoming administration, Trump 2.0, the failures of the punditocracy, and what might mean for press freedom in his second term; social media and an end to so-called fact-checking; and why we will continue to need a truly independent press to keep us informed moving forward. Later in the program, media scholar Steve Macek joins the conversation, and it's Deja Vu all over again as they revisit previously censored news stories around significant current events (including in Gaza) and how the ongoing lack of establishment media coverage around key issues contributes to low information voters and allows myriad injustices to persist at home and around the globe. Nolan Higdon is a lecturer in Education at the University of California Santa Cruz campus, a prolific author on media issues, and a frequent guest on the Project Censored Show. His books include The Anatomy of Fake News; he  also writes on Substack. Steve Macek teaches communications and media studies at North Central College in Illinois. He's also the co-coordinator of Project Censored's Campus Affiliates Program.   The post Pressing Issues for 2025: Trump 2.0, Media Failures, and the Fight for Press Freedom appeared first on KPFA.
