In one of the strangest scandals to hit the CPG world, BetterBrand, the startup behind the high-protein, low-carb “Better Bagel,” is now facing lawsuits, unpaid debts… and a missing founder. The hosts weigh in on the chaos surrounding entrepreneur Aimee Yang and her calamitous company. They also discuss a new, seemingly BFY beverage alcohol segment and why protein donuts deserve better ingredients. Show notes: 0:35: Hoste-ing In Chicago. Moldy, Mired, Messy. A Refreshing ABV? Inhale & Gag. Red Dye Donuts. – The hosts announce Taste Radio's Chicago meetup, which will take place on August 14 at Hoste Cocktails' event space in the Windy City's Pilsen neighborhood. They also delve into the controversy surrounding BetterBrand, whose problems have earned it comparisons to Theranos. The team also explores the rise of “hard refreshers,” alcoholic beverages with packaging similar to sports drinks, raising concerns over consumer confusion. Meanwhile Liquid Death's spicy novelty drink, “Deathberry Inferno,” gets mixed reviews for flavor but praise for marketing. The group samples nostalgic FatBoy ice cream treats and discusses the contrast between some function-centric foods, comparing Purely Elizabeth's new clean-label oatmeals over protein donuts made with artificial ingredients.

What happens when you mix deep community understanding with big real estate vision? Michael McLean Jr. from Condor Partners joins Dave Dubeau to unpack impact investing—not as a buzzword, but as a strategy that's transforming neighborhoods. Michael explains how Condor Partners approaches development differently. Rather than chasing trends, they spend years getting to know communities before starting projects. From revitalizing 120-year-old office buildings in Chicago to building luxury assisted living in Evanston, their projects are guided by purpose—and resilience. Michael shares the behind-the-scenes story of turning a long-vacant lumber warehouse into a thriving office hub in Pilsen, and how their Evanston project not only houses seniors, but employs locals and uplifts the neighborhood. Key Takeaways: What “impact investing” means in the real estate world How community-first planning leads to long-term success Real-world examples of projects that thrive because they listen first Why Michael's sociology background gives him a unique edge in real estate - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience? Want to get great exposure and be seen as a bonafide real estate pro by your friends? Would you like to inspire other people to take action with real estate investing?

Das heute hier vorgestellte Werk wurde für den Deutschen Buchpreis für Belletristik nominiert, 2019 war das. Nun bin ich drauf gestoßen und weiß nicht wie.Jan Kraus ist Sterbebegleiter. Er wird von Angehörigen engagiert, die letzte Reise zu begleiten. Zuzuhören, Dazusein, zu Pflegen. Es geht um den Tod, aber mehr noch darum, wie man dorthin gelangte. Er wird von einer Tochter beauftragt, sich um ihren Vater zu kümmern. Der war in Westberlin Straßenbahnfahrer. Busse sind ihm verhasst, er hatte 3 Ehefrauen, die alle nahe den Zügen begraben sind.Eigentlich wollte er Zugführer werden, aber das ging nicht. Er heißt Winterberg, und Winterberg ist vom Sterben und vom Tod besessen. Das wurde ihm auch ein bisschen in die Wiege gelegt, sein Vater eröffnete in Liberec (damals Reichenberg) das 1. Krematorium auf dem Gebiet der jungen, gerade gegründeten Tschechoslowakei.Winterberg (fast) einziges Interesse gilt der Geschichte. Sein treuer Begleiter ist der Baedeker, genauer dessen letzte Ausgabe des Baedeker für Österreich-Ungarn aus dem Jahre 1913. Winterberg will auf eine letzte Reise gehen, Jan Kraus begleitet ihn. “Winterbergs letzte Reise” ist kein leichtes Werk. Wenn man sich hineinbegibt, empfängt es einem wie in einem Fluss, aber der rattert, denn es ist natürlich eine Zugreise.Die spezifische Sprache, die Jaroslav Rudiš hier verwendet, erinnert mit ihren ständigen und dabei variierenden, fast formelhaft gebrauchten Redewendungen des Protagonisten Winterberg an Paul Celans “Todesfuge”.Dabei zitiert Winterberg so ziemlich ununterbrochen aus dem erwähnten Baedeker und treibt damit insbesondere Jan Kraus in den Wahnsinn, der mit den Dämonen seiner eigenen Geschichte konfrontiert ist. Die Reiseroute: Königsgrätz, Pilsen, Budweis, Linz, Budapest, Brünn und am Ende auf die Insel Usedom.Dabei ist insbesondere die Schlacht von Königsgrätz ein Ereignis, das früher in der Schule eine geringe (oder in meinem Fall: keine) Rolle spielte. Für Winterberg ist es der wichtigste Wendepunkt der europäischen Geschichte: 1866 endet die Schlacht mit der österreichischen Niederlage gegen Preußen, eine neue europäische Ordnung entstand - und endete in 2 Weltkriegen.Königgrätz war die erste Schlacht in Europa, vor der große Truppenkontingente per Eisenbahn verlegt wurden. Die Sachsen standen (wie so oft) auf der Verliererseite.Die Geschichte Europas wird durch die Entwicklung der Züge und Zugstrecken vorangetrieben. Dabei spiegeln sich Fortschritt und Barbarei: Die Feuerhalle, die eine moderne Bestattung verspricht, auf der anderen Seite die Krematorien von Auschwitz. Die Geschichte Böhmens, einst Österreich-Ungarn, dann auf dem Gebiet der Tschechoslowakei, dann von den Nazis besetzt, dabei vielfach von den in Böhmen lebenden Deutschen unterstützt.Winterberg verzweifelt an der Geschichte. Weit mehr noch aber an der Ignoranz der Menschen, die die Historie nicht durchschauen und schlimmer noch: dies auch gar nicht wollen. Geschichtliche Weichen werden weit vor der eigenen Zeit gestellt.Einige der Motive, die immer und immer wieder und dann noch einmal präsentiert werden sind: Das von Rudolf Bitzan entworfene Krematorium ("Feuerhalle“) in Reichenberg, Amand von Schweiger-Lerchenfelds Standardwerk „Die Überschienung der Alpen“. Wunderbar, die Lösung von Problemen folgerichtig als Überschienung zu bezeichnen. Dazu kommen all die Toten, die "keine schöne Leichen" waren, von der "beautiful landscape of battlefields, cemeteries and ruins", als die ein Engländer ihm einst Mitteleuropa beschrieben hatte.Mittelpunkt des Romans sind also der Tod und die ganzen Sauereien und Grausamkeiten, die sich Menschen zufügen. Die geraten dann in Vergessenheit und hinterher sind wieder alle überrascht, wie das geschehen konnte. Gleichzeitig der Kampf (oder das Streben) nach etwas Neuem, Besseren, das (zu) oft nicht gelingt.“Winterbergs letzte Reise” ist Jaroslav Rudiš erster Roman auf deutsch.Für seinen Beitrag zur Verständigung von Tschechen und Deutschen wurde der Autor von Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier mit dem Verdienstorden der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ausgezeichnet.Das Buch ist schon ein bisschen schwer zu ertragen und zu verkraften, aber es lohnt sich. Fast hätte ich es vergessen: es ist nicht nur tragisch, sondern auch komisch. Große Empfehlung. This is a public episode.

Send us a textEvery monument tells a story. Every museum preserves voices that might otherwise be forgotten. As a veteran who served for two decades, I've always been drawn to military history – not for political reasons, but because these sites connect us to our shared human experience.From the moment you step into the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, you're walking above a symbolic field of 9,000 poppies, each representing 1,000 combat deaths during that conflict. This museum isn't just a collection of artifacts – it's the result of passionate citizens who raised millions in just days following the war to ensure those sacrifices wouldn't be forgotten. The 80,000-square-foot facility houses over 300,000 items that tell the complete story of a war that fundamentally changed our world.Military sites often reveal surprising stories, like the George Patton Museum I stumbled upon in Pilsen, Czech Republic. Created by a local man whose historical collection was once confiscated by Soviet authorities, this museum stands as a testament to truth – documenting how American forces, not Soviet troops as communist propaganda claimed, were the ones who liberated the region. Or consider the Palawan Special Battalion Memorial in the Philippines, which commemorates both Filipino guerrillas and American POWs who suffered horrifically under Japanese occupation.American sites like Fort Pulaski in Georgia, with its 11-foot thick walls that proved vulnerable to new rifled artillery, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield in Montana, which now honors perspectives from both sides of that conflict, remind us that military history isn't just about tactics and weapons – it's about human ingenuity, courage, and the consequences of our actions.This Memorial Day, between barbecues and sales, take a moment to remember those who died while serving. Better yet, plan a visit to one of these remarkable places where history comes alive. As the saying goes, those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it – and these museums ensure we never forget the full human cost of conflict.Have you visited any military museums that moved you?

Nyligen hoppade Alexander Hacke av Einstürzende Neubauten, gruppen där han spelat gitarr och bas i 44 år. Innan det plötsliga beslutet hälsade han och hustrun Danielle de Picciotto på hemma hos Strage för att prata om sitt projekt Hackedepicciotto som gör egensinnig avantgarderock. Danielle flyttade från New York till Berlin i slutet av åttiotalet och grundade 1989, med sin dåvarande pojkvän, den stora technofesten Love Parade. Sedan började hon skriva elektronisk musik med Gudrun Gut (medlem i Mania D, Malaria och den allra första upplagan av Einstürzende Neubauten) samtidigt som hon gjorde karriär som konstnär och filmare. Danielle lärde känna Alexander Hacke i slutet av åttiotalet men det dröjde tills 2001 innan de blev ett par. I podden pratar Alexander bland annat om att använda kassettbandspelare som primitiva samplers, om att som 15-åring bli medlem i Einstürzende Neubauten, om sin första flickvän Christiane F (känd från filmen "Vi barn från Bahnhof Zoo"), om en vodkadränkt konsert i Pilsen som slutade med att Neubauten utvisades från Tjeckoslovakien, om första turnén i Japan där de blev otippade tonårsidoler (och bombarderades med gosedjur och trosor), om att producera Miranda Sex Garden och svenska Mobile Whorehouse och om det myller av instrument som han utforskar tillsammans med Danielle.

Father Emil Kapaun served as an Army chaplain in the Korean war, and was awarded a posthumous Medal of Honor. In February, Pope Francis named him "venerable," bringing him one step closer to canonization as a saint. But interest in his life — and traffic to his hometown of Pilsen, Kansas — is already picking up.
Send us a textEver feel like you're stuck in a tourist trap, surrounded by selfie sticks, waiting in line just to glimpse something you've already seen a thousand times on social media? There's a better way to travel, and it doesn't require visiting the Eiffel Tower or Times Square.Drawing from personal stories that span from small-town Texas to Czech beer halls and Filipino prisons, I reveal how real travel magic happens when you ditch the guidebooks and tourist hotspots.Through five practical tips, learn how to become a modern-day explorer: looking beyond big-name attractions, chasing local legends, talking directly with residents, hunting for quirky experiences, and embracing the back roads. Each strategy is illustrated with remarkable stories—like discovering a museum dedicated to General Patton in Pilsen, Czech Republic after a casual beer with a local, or spending the night alone in a 1747 Spanish Presidio where a famous Texas massacre occurred.What makes this approach to travel so powerful isn't just the unique experiences it creates, but how it connects you to the authentic pulse of a place. Instead of experiencing the sanitized, gift-shop version of history, you discover the raw, unpolished stories that reveal a destination's true character. Sometimes the best adventures happen when you're gloriously lost—not GPS lost, but "I have no idea where this road goes" lost.Ready to transform your travels from predictable sightseeing into genuine exploration?

When Marcos Carbajal's father, Inocencio “El Güero” Carbajal, opened Carnitas Uruapan in 1975 in Pilsen, he lived on a couch in the restaurant and ate carnitas for three meals a day, all to realize his vision of sharing and celebrating his home region of Michoacán's specialty: delicious, mouth-watering carnitas. Marcos has since taken over the business, applying the skills and knowledge he acquired during his MBA program to expand the restaurant's reach. This expansion includes a second location in Gage Park and a third, flagship location in Little Village, opened in January 2025 — and these days, they are slinging upwards of 24,000 pounds of pork every week. Marcos joins us in the studio to educate us on the diverse varieties of carnitas, demo an authentic carnitas taste test, discuss unconventional pork preparations, and much more!
In this episode, Bad at Sports dives into the world of independent publishing, printmaking, and the intersections of art, academia, and production with two innovative presses pushing the boundaries of their respective fields. Hoof Print Press, based in Pilsen, Chicago, is not just a print shop, but a thriving print publisher that explores multiple media, including ceramics. Known for their dynamic exhibition series, they bring a unique perspective on the art of printmaking, combining tradition with modern experimentation. We talk about how they balance the fine art of print with the hands-on craft of ceramics and what it means to operate as both creators and curators in the community-driven Pilsen neighborhood. - Gabe Hoare on mic. Next, we're joined by Immaterial Books, a quasi-academic press that's redefining the possibilities of academic publishing. Immaterial tests the limits of what it means to produce knowledge and content outside the conventional capitalist distribution and production models. They explore nontraditional forms of publishing that challenge the boundaries between art and academia. In this conversation, we dive into how their radical approach to publishing engages with academia, art practices, and the broader cultural conversation around knowledge production. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope on mic. Together, we discuss how both presses navigate the evolving worlds of independent publishing and art production, and how their work is changing the ways we think about community, art, and knowledge distribution. Tune in for an insightful episode that explores the intersection of artistic practices, publishing, and the role of independent presses in today's creative and academic landscapes.

Francia Garcia Hernandez, reporter for Block Club Chicago, joins Lisa Dent to share her story of being kicked out of a public meeting. Hernandez details what happened at a meeting in Pilsen that was announced as a public meeting. When Hernandez showed up, she was removed by Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez’s staff.
When 25th Ward officials announced the reopening of a controversial Pilsen bar at a public meeting last week, Francia Garcia Hernandez wasn't allowed to hear what neighbors had to say about it.That's because Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez's 25th Ward chief of staff kicked her out, a move media experts say may violate First Amendment rights that protect the press' right to investigate and report the news.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained more than 100 people in the Chicago area in an effort to carry out President Trump's campaign promise of mass deportations. But on Monday, dozens of stores and restaurants closed as part of Day Without Immigrants in protest and to honor the contributions of immigrants.

A warm welcome back to our Moneda visionaries. In the first week of the Trump administration, several actions have deeply impacted our community, particularly with heightened immigration enforcement and the removal of Spanish-language resources from the White House website. These moves, coupled with the threat of large-scale deportations, DEI order, and the dismantling of environmental justice programs disproportionately affect Latinos. At Moneda Moves, we understand the power of stories, and we are committed to reporting responsibly at the intersection of money and cultura, especially as it applies to our leading entrepreneurial population. The numbers don't lie: Latinos accounted for 36% of all new businesses in 2023, nearly double their 19% representation in the U.S. population. Immigrant Latinos are more than twice as likely to start a net new business compared to the U.S.-born population. The stories we tell matter, and more than ever, they will continue to shape our reality. That's why we started this platform—to ensure that the builders in our communities are seen and heard, especially when our contributions to the American economy and society for a long time went unrecognized in national headlines. Fundamentally, Moneda Moves believes in the inherent value of our community, as humans, but also in critical mass, and in our culture. This commitment remains steadfast. In conversations with ecosystem builders who are working with underrepresented communities, it has been refreshing to know that we are not alone in this journey. A recent discussion reaffirmed the importance of staying informed, knowing our numbers which undeniably show the impact that we have together and how storytelling has the ability to create change. I highly recommend reading the 2023 State of Latino Entrepreneurship report by the Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) and Stanford Graduate School of Business. The future is ours to shape, and we will continue to ensure that our stories are told with integrity and respect. This is why we are also joined today by Fernando Hurtado, a former manager of digital video for NBCUniversal Local and the host/producer of Bísness School. Bísness School is a podcast that highlights the stories of Latino-owned businesses and the fact that Latinos are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the United States. That series won a silver Signal Award in 2024. Fernando has recently launched The Hyphen, a YouTube channel that covers one of the fastest-growing demographics, U.S. Latinos, with deeply researched, visually rich stories. Beyond podcasting at major networks, Fernando was the lead producer on NBC's My New Favorite Olympian podcast, which was named best sports podcast at the Cynopsis Sports Media Awards. He's expanded his coverage in this arena to the Paris, Tokyo, and Beijing Olympics for NBCUniversal Local. Hurtado was named to Broadcasting + Cable's 40 Under 40 in 2023. Prior to NBC, Fernando was at ATTN: and Sinclair Broadcast Group as a producer and editor. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California and lives in Los Angeles. He is currently an adjunct instructor of visual journalism and multiplatform Olympic and Paralympic storytelling there. This journalist's mission is to highlight Latino-owned businesses in English in order to reach younger bilingual audiences who are looking for positive representation in entrepreneurial spaces. In his effort to do so, he has produced over 20 episodes with successful Latino entrepreneurs, including Annie Leal, the owner of the $4M business, I Love Chamoy. It is no surprise that while living in Los Angeles, Fernando, like myself hails from Chicago, which is heavily influenced by Latino-run businesses, in neighborhoods from La Villita to Pilsen and Humboldt Park. In addition to raising awareness about these businesses, he's also sharing what's working for them and what challenges they are facing in the entrepreneurial space so that other Latino entrepreneurs can learn from their stories. This week, Fernando shares how Latino entrepreneurs are using their stories to better market their products, why Latino businesses are seen as too niche or exclusive to other communities, and what trends he's seeing in 2025.

“To our great shame and sorrow, we must acknowledge how our brethren have been cleverly seduced by Satan, and how they have departed from Holy Scriptures in strange and unheard-of ideas and acts. When Satan first came to them it was not with an open face, as the devil, but in the shining garb of voluntary poverty, [..], and in the zealous work of preaching to and serving the people and in giving them the Body and Holy Blood of God. And [..] a great many people flocked to them. Then the devil came to them clothed in other garb, in the prophets and the Old Testament, and from these they sought to confect the imminent Day of Judgement, saying that they were angels who had to eliminate the scandals of Christ's kingdom, and that they were to judge the world. And so they committed many killings and impoverished many people; but they did not judge the world according to their words, for the predicted time has elapsed with which they terrified the people, telling them strange things.” End quote.Strange things indeed were happening in Bohemia. Peter Chelcicky whose words you just heard reported how the radical Hussites had called the End of Days for February 14th, 1420. But when that day came, and instead of all the enemies of the faith lying dead with their noses pointing skywards, royalist forces surrounded the radical Hussites in the city of Pilzen. Now the end really seemed nigh, but cometh the time, cometh the man, even if the man is a one-eyed, gruff ex-Highwayman.

While City Council voted on a budget yesterday, a decision on a permit for a metal shredder in Pilsen that was supposed to come down Monday has been pushed back indefinitely. Neighbors are calling for a comprehensive health risk assessment, as the city comes under fire for failing to enforce environmental regulations and as staffing changes at the health department slow environmental justice projects. Host Jacoby Cochran and executive producer Simone Alicea discuss what the moves could mean for the Johnson administration in 2025. Plus, they play a game of “guess that quote” and discuss the most interesting Best of Chicago categories in the Reader. Want some more City Cast Chicago news?

As the year comes to a close, host David Manilow is sharing three of his favorite new spots. He'll take us from the Near West Side to Lincoln Park to Pilsen. One restaurant is an ode to the melting pot that is Chicago, while another is the rare example of a coffee shop worth visiting for the food alone. Plus, the Michelin stars are out. We'll share the good news and the bad news for Chicago.
Michael McLean, Jr. has spent his career redefining what it means to be a real estate developer. As the managing partner of Condor Partners, he isn't content to simply build spaces—he's committed to revitalizing entire communities. “We don't just helicopter in, put up a building, and leave,” Michael shared. “We're there to stay, to engage, and to ensure what we build remains a positive influence for generations.”This ethos of long-term impact sets Michael apart in an industry often criticized for prioritizing profits over people. His work on transformative projects like Mural Park in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood illustrates a different approach—one rooted in collaboration and trust. “Community engagement has never harmed me,” he said. “It's always informed me better about what I should be doing.”Michael emphasizes transparency as the cornerstone of his leadership. Whether it's his team, the communities he works within, or the investors he partners with, trust is non-negotiable. “If you can't build trust, you're starting off on the wrong foot,” he explained. For Michael, trust isn't just a buzzword—it's a foundational principle that shapes every decision, from initial community conversations to long-term project sustainability.His dedication to fostering trust is particularly evident in the Truly Evanston project. Michael saw an opportunity to do more than just add another apartment complex to the area. By incorporating workforce housing and creating local jobs, Truly Evanston became a catalyst for economic and social integration. “We're working with the high school and community college,” he noted. “This year, we'll put over $3 million into the local economy.”But the road to success hasn't been without its challenges. Financing remains a constant hurdle, particularly because Condor Partners specializes in diverse, often unconventional projects. “We're not repeating the same product over and over,” Michael explained. “Each project requires us to find new investors and generate excitement from scratch.”Despite these challenges, Michael's passion for his work keeps him going. That passion, he said, is a key criterion for every project his firm takes on. “If we wake up one day and realize we're not going to make any money on a project, are we still excited to work on it?” he asked. For Michael, the answer must always be yes.What truly sets Michael apart is his commitment to listening. Whether engaging with residents, teammates, or skeptics, he values differing perspectives. “If we can understand where opposition is coming from, we don't have to agree, but we can develop respect,” he said. This openness not only mitigates conflict but also leads to better, more inclusive developments.Michael believes Chicago is poised to lead the Rust Belt's resurgence. “Our fundamentals are strong,” he said. “We're discussing our challenges openly, which many other cities aren't doing.” With a focus on urbanization, thoughtful design, and cultural leadership, Michael is confident Chicago will continue to evolve as a model for modern city development.Balancing his professional ambitions with his personal life has been key to his success. Michael's firm invests locally, allowing him to prioritize family and community without sacrificing quality. “We've chosen not to invest in markets that pull us away from our values,” he said. This intentional approach ensures that his work remains aligned with his principles, both personally and professionally.As Michael looks to the future, his optimism is palpable. “Development isn't just about buildings; it's about people,” he said. And with leaders like him at the helm, the future of Chicago—and the communities he touches—looks brighter than ever.

In this episode, we feature the incredible Latinx artist Martin Sorrondeguy, also known as Martin Crudo.

Since then, he's gone on to other unique projects, like the queercore punk band Limp Wrist and his latest venture, a solo electronic dance music project called NRRRV. As if that weren't enough, Martin is also a talented photographer. Please tune in to hear his inspiring story and the incredible impact he's had on the music scene and beyond.
