Podcasts about Midway

The last few weeks we spent time diving into the fantasy that was the World's Columbian Exposition. This has always been an event that I would do anything to go back in time to attend. In reality, if I existed as myself all the way back in 1893, there's no way I would've attended the Fair. At best, I would've been on display at the Midway.Show Notes here! Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you have anything you'd like us to talk about on the podcast, food or history, please email us at ⁠admin@77flavors.orgWATCH US ON YOUTUBE ⁠HERE⁠!Visit our *NEW* website ⁠https://www.77flavors.orgFollow us on IG:77 Flavors of Chicago ⁠@77flavorschi⁠Dario ⁠dariodurhamphotoSara @sarafaddah

Jeff Noga built a long and successful career at ExxonMobil, including several years in a supervisory role, before his life took an unexpected turn. Midway through his career, he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa—a progressive vision condition that would challenge both his professional and personal life.With a wife and two young children at home, Jeff was determined to keep moving forward and continue providing for his family. In this episode, he opens up about the obstacles he faced, the adjustments he had to make, and the resilience it took to navigate vision loss while maintaining his career.

In this solo personal essay, Dale argues that American submarines — not the aircraft carriers — won the Pacific War against Japan. It's one sailor, one opinion: the carriers won the headlines at Midway, but the boats did the killing, sinking over half of Japan's fleet and strangling the oil that the Yamato and the whole empire ran on. From the Shinano to Archerfish to Nimitz himself. Come agree, or come fight him about it.https://discord.gg/fC5EJDR

A quieter news week calls for a quieter show, and host Matt Trump delivers: a warm, wide-ranging meditation on the blue micro moon arriving this weekend. Matt traces the surprisingly tangled history of the term "blue moon" from a 1528 anticlerical English pamphlet through a famous 1946 misprint in Sky and Telescope that accidentally defined the phrase as we know it today. He also covers when the moon literally turns blue from volcanic ash and wildfire smoke, the physics of the moon's elliptical orbit, the optical illusion of the horizon moon, and the jaw-dropping fact that the sun and the moon appear almost the same size in the sky. Along the way, he pays tribute to the 39 men of Torpedo Squadron 8 who flew into the Battle of Midway without fighter cover and saved the Pacific War with their lives.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Talking Pools Podcast, Rudy Stankowitz delivers one of the most brutally honest and emotionally grounded episodes yet — blending psychology, mentorship, advanced chemistry, industry culture, and drowning prevention into a single unapologetic ride through the modern swimming pool industry. Rudy opens the episode by tackling something most people in the industry rarely discuss openly: the mental chaos of becoming good at pool care. He breaks down how the swimming pool industry often throws people into the deep end with little structure, little guidance, and an overwhelming amount of misinformation. From social media “experts” diagnosing pools based on vibes instead of testing, to the psychological toll of green pool emergencies and impossible customer expectations, Rudy explains why mentorship matters more now than ever. The episode then dives into the deeper meaning behind the Talking Pools Podcast Mentor of the Year Award, revealing how last year's nominations exposed stories of mentors helping people survive addiction, rebuild careers, regain confidence, and completely change the trajectory of their lives. Rudy discusses this year's explosive growth in nominations and gives recognition to sponsors helping support mentorship culture throughout the industry, including Blu-Ray XL, Rev'd Up Apparel, and AquaComfort Water Group. Midway through the episode, Rudy gives a shout-out to The Chlorine King Show and host Erik Taylor, praising the show's authentic “in-the-trenches” perspective and raw humor that resonates with pool service professionals battling the same daily chaos. Then comes the chemistry deep dive.Rudy breaks down the biological differences between copper, silver, and zinc in swimming pool treatment systems — explaining why they are not interchangeable “miracle metals,” but instead function as entirely different biological stressors against algae, cyanobacteria, bacteria, and biofilms. He explores how copper disrupts photosynthesis and metabolism, silver attacks microbial survival systems, and zinc interferes with surface attachment and biofilm formation. The episode also explores the role of sequestrants, bioavailability, metal balance, and how improper chelation can reduce effectiveness. Using one of the most memorable analogies of the episode, Rudy describes: “Chlorine is the cop kicking in the door. Copper is the cutting power. Silver disables the command center. Zinc tears down the bunker where they're hiding.” The episode closes on an incredibly serious and emotional topic: drowning prevention.Referencing the latest homeowner drowning prevention issue from Service Industry News, Rudy discusses the psychological reality of drowning incidents, the importance of layered safety systems, and why pool professionals should view themselves as frontline safety advocates — not just chemistry experts or repair technicians. He discusses silent drowning, complacency, gate failures, supervision assumptions, CPR, alarms, electrical safety, and the emotional weight of preventable tragedy. This episode blends science, sarcasm, psychology, mentorship, chemistry, and hard truths into one of the most powerful Floc-It Friday episodes yet.

In this Unfiltered episode of Fixing Healthcare, Drs. Robert Pearl and Jonathan Fisher explore three questions that reach across medicine, leadership and life itself: What legacy do physicians leave behind? How does mindset shape health and longevity? And can doctors still find fulfillment as medical practice shifts from independence to employment? The conversation begins with Tim Cook's legacy at Apple, using his tenure as CEO to ask a larger question about values, mission and compromise. Pearl and Fisher examine whether legacy is something others assign after a career ends or something professionals create daily through their choices, actions and alignment with their deepest values. For physicians, the question becomes especially personal when financial, organizational or career decisions collide with the promise to put patients first. Midway through, the discussion turns to longevity and the science of mindset. Drawing on research from Yale and Fisher's work in Just One Heart, the two physicians explore how beliefs about aging can influence physical function, cognitive health, inflammation and long-term well-being. Fisher explains why optimism is not merely a pleasant attitude but a physiologic force that can shape stress hormones, inflammatory pathways and the daily behaviors that determine health. Finally, Pearl and Fisher examine one of the biggest structural shifts in modern medicine: the movement from physician-owned practices to employment by hospitals, health systems and insurers. Fisher notes that independent doctors may report lower burnout, but autonomy is no longer guaranteed when administrative burdens, call schedules and financial pressures consume the practice of medicine. Employment offers support and stability, but often at the cost of control. By the end, the episode connects all three themes: legacy, health and professional fulfillment are rooted in purpose. Whether through family, patient care, mission trips, mentoring or the daily work of medicine, Pearl and Fisher suggest that doctors may live longer, healthier and more meaningful lives when they preserve the mission that brought them to medicine in the first place. For listeners who connected with Fisher's reflections on burnout, autonomy and the search for renewed purpose in medicine, his upcoming ASPIRE physician retreat offers a deeper opportunity for reflection and recovery. Co-facilitated with Dr. Robyn Tiger, ASPIRE is a CME-accredited retreat designed exclusively for healthcare professionals, taking place June 12-14 at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, North Carolina.

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall open up Season 6 with friend, author and historian Pete Owen. Pete, a retired United States Marine, and Naval Academy graduate, brings us the story of VMF-221's Pacific War odyssey. 221 first saw combat at Midway in June 1942, then went on to Guadalcanal after a lengthy rebuild. After the Canal, and flying the F4U Corsair, the Falcons flew in the Solomons before finally ending up aboard USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) in 1945. Pete gives us the low-down on the squadron and some of their personalities and training that are in his new book. Check out our first episode of Season 6--plenty more to come!

RIP Democracy - A Crisis Caucus brings together It's News to Us, Cool Nerd Weed Show, and Mood Killers for a two-hour live political comedy special asking the most comforting question possible: are we halfway to fixing democracy, or halfway through watching it fall down a flight of stairs? With the theme “Midway to the Midterms… Will hope be restored or lost and gone forever?”, the episode mixes political panel chaos, comedy games, guest interviews, survival-guide bits, parody ads, cannabis updates, and live listener call-ins. The show kicks off with an introduction to the hosts and the crisis-caucus premise, then immediately throws listeners into State of Pain, a gas price trivia game designed to test both political knowledge and emotional endurance at the pump. Hour one leans into economic dread and generational coping mechanisms with segments like How Emos Can Afford High Gas Prices, How Broke Millennials Can Survive Inflation, and a guest interview with Ben Lapidus. The hour closes with How Gen Z Can Survive the 2026 Midterms, a cannabis update with The Nerds, and the kind of break teases that make listeners wonder whether they should laugh, vote, or stockpile beans. Hour two expands the satire with Headline or Hallucination, a game built for the modern news cycle where reality and AI-generated nonsense are basically in a custody battle. The second hour also features congressional candidate Samantha Mota, giving the panel a chance to talk politics directly while keeping the overall tone sharp, funny, and just unstable enough to match the moment. Overall, the episode is a live, comedic midterm check-in: part political therapy session, part radio variety show, part emergency broadcast from a democracy that may or may not be buffering.

This week, we review Mortal Kombat (1995), Paul W.S. Anderson's action-packed martial arts fantasy based on the iconic Midway video game franchise. Robin Shou, Linden Ashby, and Bridgette Wilson star as Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade — three warriors chosen to fight in an ancient interdimensional tournament to save Earth from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung, played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. With Christopher Lambert presiding over the chaos as the thunder god Raiden, and Outworld already sitting on nine wins out of ten, the stakes couldn't be higher. This film raises intriguing questions about what it truly means to fight for humanity — and whether a dodgy CGI lizard man is really the best line of defence.Is Mortal Kombat a finishing move or a finishing disaster?

From Buffalos at Midway to Corsairs off the deck of Bunker Hill, the Marines of VMF-221 fought, bled, and adapted their way through the Pacific War — and their story reveals far more about combat, leadership, and airpower than the history books let on.Retired Marine Lt. Col. and historian Pete Owen joins the show to break down what really happened when Marine aviation was tested at its limits, why Midway was a far darker day than most people know, and what those lessons mean for the fight America may face next.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Jesus travels quietly to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles because the religious leaders are seeking to kill Him, while His own brothers mock Him and urge Him to go publicly. Midway through the feast, He begins teaching in the temple with such authority that the crowds are astonished, wondering how someone with no formal rabbinic training could possess such wisdom. Jesus explains that His teaching comes from the Father and that anyone who genuinely desires to do God's will can recognize the truth—showing that spiritual understanding depends not on education, but on an honest and willing heart.

Darrell Castle returns to the discussion of war by talking about a war not spoken of so much since it has been driven from the headlines by the war against Iran. Transcription / Notes VLADIMIR PUTIN, DONALD TRUMP, AND THE DECLINE OF EMPIRES Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 15th day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat today is once again war but we visit a war not spoken of so much since it has been driven from the headlines by the war against Iran. Yes, we don't hear much about Ukraine these days but it continues to cost lives, and resources and it continues to threaten the global geopolitical order. I'm sure you remember, if you are a long-term sufferer of these Reports, that back in 2014 in the eastern provinces of Ukraine the people voted overwhelmingly to become or remain part of the Russian Federation but that decision didn't sit well with Victoria Nuland who was the U.S. State Department representative there. She helped instigate a revolution that replaced the pro-Russian government with one more pro Europe and that led to a Russian invasion and the current war. Mr. Putin, like President Trump, has found that sometimes wars are easier to get into than they are to get out of. I remember from the war archives reading the discussions from the Japanese general staff when they were planning the battle of Midway. The admiral who was to command their carriers said this will work if the Americans do exactly what we expect and want them to. Well, the Americans didn't do what the Japanese expected and the Ukrainians haven't done what the Russians expected. When a Nation which seems to have overwhelming power goes to war against a much weaker opponent the powerful nation expects a quick and decisive, not to mention cheap, victory. Some examples would be the Soviet Union in World War ll, the Iranians of today, and the Ukrainians that are the subject for today. I mention World War ll a lot because last week the 9th of May was the annual celebration in Moscow of the Russian victory over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. This year the celebration was different because for the first time in 18 years, Russia's Victory Day parade had no tanks, no missile carriers, and no armored columns going through Red Square. Smaller regions in Russia have their own smaller parades and celebrations and many of those have been canceled altogether. The people of Moscow were told to expect to have no internet service on May 9th. The reason for all the caution and the stepped down celebration was fear of Ukrainian drone and missile attacks. Yes, that's right folks, the Russian Federation, successor to the Soviet Union, cannot traditionally celebrate its victory over Nazi Germany because once again it is at war inside its own borders. The ironic thing is that once again the war is being fueled, at least partially by German arms. The two wars being fought right now, Ukraine and Iran, in which larger more powerful nations attacked smaller weaker ones are changing the dynamics of global politics and showing us once again that the unexpected results of war can totally change the geopolitics of the world. Ukraine, supplied to the tune of hundreds of billions in arms and treasure, primarily by the United States but also by the European nations has apparently perfected drone and missile warfare and has become one of the world leaders in that technology. Ukraine is now a world leader as we will see but recently Great Britain, desperate to prolong the fight I guess, gave the Ukrainians 120,000 drones from their own inventory. Ukraine, just an agricultural region on the border of Russia and only of any significance because of its proximity to Russia has become one of the world's most proficient practitioners of the new art of unmanned warfare. They are so proficient that they attack deep inside Russia seemingly at will to the point that the Russian people are afraid to conduct a parade in their community. Thousands of armed drones roam the skies looking for targets and although they are relatively easy to shoot down they are unstoppable in those numbers. Reports are that Iranian missiles and drones reach their targets about 10% of the time but that is against sophisticated air defense systems dedicated to stopping them. Against thousands, 10% is still a lot of destruction and in Ukraine/Russia I understand that they are virtually impossible to defend against. People will tolerate what they are told will be a short and decisive war but only for so long. The propaganda sent to them daily and now through Social Media minute by minute grows tiring when the people realize that it is all just lies. Reports coming from Russia indicate that Putin is feeling the heat of public dissatisfaction with the war. Nobody will tell us exact casualty figures but they obviously number in the hundreds of thousands. War you never have to feel and never see unless you look for it is one thing but when the numbers of dead reach that high and especially when the economy is crumbling as is Russia's people notice. To that end, last week, President Putin made a phone call to President Trump and proposed a new economic relationship with the United States. The internal pressure on President Putin seems to be working because he is now saying the war is coming to a settlement when there is no battlefield evidence that is the case. He says now that he wants a negotiated settlement and he wants the Europeans to be a part of it. Ironically, he seems to have singled out Germany as the leader in the settlement negotiations. He has maintained all along that he will not recognize Zelensky as the legitimate leader of Ukraine and would therefore not meet with him. That attitude has changed and now he wants to meet with him and he wants the Europeans to help the two of them broker a deal. I admit I am guessing here, but I think it's an educated guess. Putin always wanted to make Russia a part of the European community but the EU bureaucrats would not have him at their parties. These recent inquiries indicate to me that he wants to renew the efforts to make Russia part of Europe. Ordinarily, I don't think the Europeans would give him the time of day but the world is far from ordinary right now and they just might listen this time. Why, because of Iran and behind that Israel. Putin might be trying to take advantage of anti-US sentiment in Europe due to the war in Iran. The Europeans obviously want no part of that adventure that Mr. Trump started so perhaps a Europe-Russia détente is now possible. European politicians have made some astonishingly anti-US statements lately. Spain has doubled down on its refusal to let the US use its own bases in Spain for attacks on Iran. One of the leading candidates for Prime Minister of Spain is running on a campaign to take Spain out of NATO as a way to prevent that country from becoming involved in fighting Israel's wars. So, Putin seeks to turn the clock back to when relations between Russia and Europe were better, but that was when Russia was weaker than now. Just as in the U.S. regarding Iran there is massive and growing opposition in Russia to the war in Ukraine. The Russian economy is reeling and rumors are that the power brokers in Russia have turned against him. He has reportedly increased security at his private residences. It will be interesting to see how the U.S. will react to all this. President Trump left for China on Tuesday for a three-day summit with Mr. Xi. That summit has been in the planning process for months and has continued discussions despite the Iran war. The summit will obviously be primarily about the economic relationship between the U.S. and China but I'm sure Iran will be an important topic. China had Iranian officials in China just prior to Trump's visit. The question being asked By American media is, will Trump trade Taiwan for Iran, but we will see. Meanwhile back here in America the empire appears to be in decline and is always looking for someone to accelerate the process and Donald Trump appears to be the right man for the job. The empire killers of debt and war are now out of control. The debt has passed 39 trillion and interest payments have passed one trillion per year. Cutting taxes is a good idea if the cuts are matched with spending cuts but the President is removing the fuel tax to bring prices down with no corresponding spending cuts. The wars continue to cost more each day with no end in sight. So much of the world's economy depends on the price of oil so Trump starts a stupid war that closes the most important oil spigot in the world. It appears now that the U.S. cannot force Iran to do anything without risking major retaliation and resulting damage to the world economy with much higher oil prices. So, we are told the ceasefire is still in effect when it clearly isn't. According to U.S. intelligence Iran has 75% of its missile capacity intact and almost all of its underground facilities have been reopened. Iran is now a superpower in control of the most important waterway in the world. Russia's and other adversaries which depend on selling oil have had their incomes increase. So that all adds up to quite an achievement with no visible upside at all. Finally, folks, if the American Empire is in decline under the weight of debt and war what better man could we have to manage it. At least that's the way I see it. Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

State lawmakers are advancing a series of measures aimed at protecting Illinois consumers from rising insurance costs and quality-of-life impacts tied to major infrastructure growth. Senators Michael Hastings, Ram Villivalam, and Laura Murphy passed measures through the Senate addressing homeowners and auto insurance rate hikes, transparency and oversight, defensive driving incentives for seniors, and expanded sound insulation eligibility for residents near O'Hare and Midway airports.

At the Battle of Midway in June 1942, the Hornet air group flew the wrong way, and a falsified after-action report by Captain Marc Mitscher helped to cover up the mistake. Host Emily Abdow talks with author Ronald Russell about his article, “Mitscher at Midway,” the cover story in the June issue of Naval History.

Jesus travels quietly to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles because the religious leaders are seeking to kill Him, while His own brothers mock Him and urge Him to go publicly. Midway through the feast, He begins teaching in the temple with such authority that the crowds are astonished, wondering how someone with no formal rabbinic training could possess such wisdom. Jesus explains that His teaching comes from the Father and that anyone who genuinely desires to do God's will can recognize the truth—showing that spiritual understanding depends not on education, but on an honest and willing heart.

Drones didn't start in Silicon Valley — they began with Victorians and warDrones feel like the defining weapon of the 21st century — cheap, disposable, and terrifyingly effective. But what if that belief is completely wrong?In this episode of History Rage, aviation historian and journalist Mark Piesing explodes the modern myth surrounding drones and reveals a truth that stretches back more than 120 years. Long before satellites, digital cameras, or GPS, Victorian engineers were already imagining — and building — pilotless weapons designed to change warfare forever.From Nikola Tesla's radio-controlled boats in the 1890s, to British attack drones planned during the First World War, this episode traces how unmanned warfare evolved through failed experiments, secret Cold War programmes, and nuclear testing — long before the Predator ever flew.Mark explains why the “father of the drone” was a British engineer targeted by German assassins, how Marilyn Monroe began her career on a drone production line, and why US Navy admirals were signing orders for thousands of attack drones before the Battle of Midway. Along the way, Paul and Mark explore why these technologies repeatedly promised to change war — and why military bureaucracy so often held them back.This is not a story of sudden innovation. It's a story of persistence, secrecy, and ideas far ahead of the technology needed to make them work. And it explains why today's drone warfare in Ukraine looks eerily familiar to predictions made in 1898.If you think drones are a modern invention, prepare to be very, very angry.Guest: Mark PiesingMark Piesing is an award-winning journalist and aviation historian specialising in unmanned systems, aerospace innovation, and Cold War technology. His work has appeared with the Smithsonian, Royal Aeronautical Society, and major international publications.Read more here: https://markpiesing.com/2025/07/03/i-was-asked-to-write-this-piece-by-history-com-how-drones-have-upended-warfare/Follow & contact MarkTwitter/X: @markpiesingInstagram: @markpiesingwritesFurther listeningHistory Rage Episode 196 – Mark rages against polar explorers: https://pod.fo/e/2c75bdHistory Rage Episode 53 – Nikola Tesla with Iwun Morus: https://pod.fo/e/16c1d5About History RageHistory Rage is the podcast where historians unleash their fury on the myths, half-truths, and bad history we all think we know.

There will be one very mad podcast host if the Tijuana River Sewage problem is not resolved by 2036. That podcast host is Scott Lewis. We bet you’ll be shocked to learn signature gatherers could not answer a reporter’s question about the change they were seeking. We talk about why they can’t explain what’s happening with the Tijuana River crisis at the border. Also on the show: California agreed with Midway Rising developers that they never needed to get rid of the height limit in Midway, even though the city put it on the ballot twice just to support them. We’ll explain. Plus: It's mailer season and District 2 has a pretty good competition shaping up. Bella Ross walks us through District 2 city council candidates and what she took away from the things she learned. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recorded inside a working tattoo shop in Twisp, Washington, Mason sits down with herbalist Rosalee de la Forêt and tattoo artist (and tarot reader) Caitlin Cordell… while Rosalee is actively getting tattooed.  What unfolds is a lively, unscripted conversation weaving together herbalism, embodiment, and everyday practice in a setting that's anything but typical. Along the way, we dive into the nuances of inflammation—why it's not the enemy, the crucial difference between acute and chronic states, and how herbalism can support long-term vitality without fear-based restriction. Rosalee shares insights from her clinical experience, busts common myths (including the turmeric + black pepper debate), and highlights herbs like hawthorn and lemon balm as powerful, often underappreciated allies.  Midway through, the energy shifts as Mason and Rosalee receive a spontaneous tarot reading, adding another layer of reflection and meaning to an already rich conversation. It's equal parts education, storytelling, and real-life moment—needle buzzing in the background and all.

In this episode of Honey Bee Obscura, Jim Tew brings listeners along for a raw, unfiltered walk through his apiary during one of beekeeping's most unpredictable seasons. After expecting significant winter losses, Jim ordered five packages—only to discover that many of his colonies survived. What follows is a practical and honest look at the realities of managing too many bees, not enough equipment, and the financial weight of modern beekeeping.  Working through newly installed packages, Jim shares his "slipshod beekeeping" approach—using improvised feeding methods, mismatched equipment, and minimal intervention—while still focusing on the fundamentals: ensuring queens are released, colonies are stable, and resources are protected from stronger hives during seasonal nectar gaps. Midway through the episode, everything shifts. A strong colony unexpectedly swarms, offering a vivid, real-time reminder that even experienced beekeepers can misjudge colony strength and behavior. Jim walks through the moment as it unfolds, reflecting on swarm dynamics, colony pressure, and the humbling nature of working with honey bees. This episode is a grounded reminder that beekeeping rarely goes exactly as planned—and that adaptability, observation, and a bit of humility go a long way. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

Sam and Dylan are back to break down: the return of the "Butler" assassination theory, peptides and LA biohacking culture, and California politics getting weird with a fast-rising candidate, Katie Porter backlash, and a gender double standard debate that somehow turns into Kanye. They also take shots at SNL vs UK comedy (including the "crab man" sketch), hit NFL Draft optimism, and question why an assassination attempt never got a real investigation—breaking down theories ranging from staged optics to elite warnings to something more symbolic.   Midway through, it's chaos—Spirit Airlines horror stories, fan comments, and the usual insanity—before the episode flips into something darker. They dig into the case of a UFO-linked scientist who sent chilling messages before her death, claims of surveillance and break-ins, and a bizarre license plate swap story that sparks a debate: paranoia or something real? That opens the door to bigger ideas about competing futures (tech elites vs China), timeline manipulation, and whether anyone is actually pulling strings.   The second half zooms out—patterns of missing scientists and military figures, failed searches, and the feeling that too many coincidences are stacking up. They connect it to historical infiltration tactics like the Pinkertons, debate modern versions through the SPLC and federal involvement, and close on culture and belief—Trump, RFK, Hannity leaving Catholicism.

Arrests are ticking back up, with immigrants targeted at hearings and in courthouses, although federal agents are far less present in the streets than they were in the fall.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. 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.

Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. He recently published the book Torn: Why People We Love Are Leaving the Church and What We Can Learn from Them. Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family.

Personal Connection: Jeff shares his personal journey of grappling with his son’s disaffiliation, highlighting the emotional impact and the need for a deeper understanding of why individuals leave the church. Research Findings: Jeff’s research indicates that approximately 40% of active members have disaffiliated since 2000, with various reasons categorized into “waves,” including lifestyle challenges and deeper faith crises. Cultural Dynamics: The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the cultural pressures within the church that may lead to feelings of depletion rather than spiritual fulfillment for some members. Engagement vs. Disaffiliation: While many active members report strong engagement and purpose, a significant portion of young adults are less affiliated with organized religion, indicating a complex relationship with faith. Leadership Applications Fostering Understanding: Leaders can benefit from understanding the reasons behind disaffiliation to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for those struggling with their faith. Encouraging Open Dialogue: By promoting open conversations about faith challenges, leaders can help bridge the gap between those who feel fulfilled in their faith and those who are struggling. Addressing Cultural Pressures: Leaders should be aware of the cultural dynamics that may lead to feelings of depletion among members and work to create a more nurturing and understanding community that supports individual spiritual journeys.
