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.

After nearly 10 years of planning and construction, the Obama Presidential Center is opening on the South Side of Chicago — right across the street from an under-resourced high school, in a segregated neighborhood where home prices have jumped. Who is the Center for, and what will it mean for the people who live there? We get into it with two South Siders who've covered the Center for years — journalist Natalie Moore and the Invisible Institute's Maira Khwaja — about the Chi's tricky relationship with the president who claims them.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Rev. Jesse Jackson was an icon, a civil rights advocate, a two-time presidential candidate and a political powerhouse for decades. He was also “Rev,” a fixture in the Jackson Park Highlands community and a “sweet” and “caring” man who would speak openly on his meetings with historical figures like Martin Luther King, Jr. over hot links on the porch, his neighbors said.

This is it — the final Halloween episode of the season and the crew goes out with a full stomach and zero chill. We kick things off with a Kelly Fact that blew our minds: trick-or-treating traces back to medieval “souls cakes”, when folks went door-to-door offering prayers for the dead in exchange for cake. FNBob immediately wants the recipe; Henvincible warns it sounds like another questionable British dish. Next, FNBob casually flexes his new academic cred — a doctorate in Meta Physics — and reminds everyone he's also an ordained minister now (because why not). Costume roll call: FNBob rocks a Hogwarts dropout Ravenclaw look, Henvincible is Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer, and Kelly turns heads in an inflated Fall Guy suit. Adulting turtles the conversation into taxes, car headaches, and bad drivers — but mostly we talk food. The crew goes full “fat asses” mode tasting and debating halal spots, and FNBob teases a Chicago food map he's building to crown the city's best bites. Real Chicago foodie tea gets spilled: tavern-style pizza is a tourist term, Southsiders judge restaurants by “how's the fish,” and the eternal debate — turkey tips as rib replacements — explodes into comic fury. Henvincible mentions cauliflower pizza and FNBob has a meltdown you'll want to hear. It's the perfect mix of history, costumes, food, and the kind of ridiculous arguments only the Nonsense crew could sustain. Final jack-o'-lantern: lit. Final bite: messy. Final laugh: guaranteed. ⭐ Show Highlights Kelly Fact: the medieval origin of souls cake → trick-or-treating's wild roots. FNBob's new flex: Doctorate in Meta Physics + ordained minister status. Costume show-and-tell: Ravenclaw dropout, Tanjiro Kamado, and an inflated Fall Guy. Adulting rage: taxes, cars, and Chicago driving nightmares. FNBob's upcoming Chicago food map — tour-worthy recommendations incoming. South Side food rules: restaurants judged by “How's the fish?” Food fight: turkey tips vs pork ribs (spoiler: it gets heated). Cauliflower pizza mention sparks FNBob's culinary meltdown — comedic gold. ❓ Question of the Day Are turkey tips a worthy stand-in for pork ribs — sacrilege or smart swap? (Explain your take!)

In the third hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by Sun-Times writer Jason Lieser to discuss first-year head coach Ben Johnson's impact on the organization and more. Later, Spiegel and Holmes discussed how the The Pope is becoming a hero to South Siders.

The 1936 Chicago City Series was another chapter in the long-standing Cubs-White Sox rivalry, which had defined the city's baseball landscape for decades. The Cubs entered the series fresh off a fourth-place finish in the National League, while the White Sox, though a middle-of-the-pack team in the American League, had the edge when it came to these intra-city showdowns. The South Siders had dominated the City Series historically, and 1936 was no exception. The White Sox swept the four-game set behind strong pitching from Vern Kennedy, Monty Stratton, Ted Lyons, and Bill Dietrich, while the Cubs struggled offensively, managing just eight runs across the series.The Cubs-White Sox rivalry had been one of baseball's most consistent postseason matchups since the early 1900s, with the teams facing off in the City Series almost every year when neither club was playing in the World Series. Though the Cubs had won National League pennants in 1929, 1932, and 1935, their success did not translate into city bragging rights, as the White Sox continued to dominate the matchup. The 1936 series marked the second time in four years that the Cubs were completely shut out in the annual showdown, reinforcing the White Sox's reputation as the stronger team in Chicago's postseason exhibitions.

Sportico reported within the last week that Mat and Justin Ishbia own a small percent of the Chicago White Sox. In 2021, the Ishbia Brothers reportedly acquired a small-single-digit percent of the South Siders. With the brothers reported interest in buying the Minnesota Twins, the Ishibas would need to sell their stake before becoming the new owners of the Twins. Join CHGO White Sox host, Sean Anderson as he discusses the Ishbias connection to the South Side.

Chicago White Sox fans rejoice! After adding “Czar of Pitching” Brian Bannister, the South Siders reportedly may be expanding their front office to add a “Czar of Hitting”. Who is Ryan Fuller and what will he add to the Sox organization? Plus, who will play SS for the Sox in 2025? Join the CHGO White Sox crew, Sean Anderson, Herb Lawrence, and Vinnie Duber as they discuss!

Now that he's found a manager in Will Venable, Chris Getz is already tinkering with the Chicago White Sox' roster as baseball's offseason gets underway. Getz, who made three roster moves Monday, will be laying the groundwork for wintertime deals this week at the GM Meetings. What else is in store for the South Siders as the offseason begins? Sean Anderson, Herb Lawrence and Vinnie Duber discuss what lies ahead as the weather cools down and the Hot Stove heats up on the CHGO White Sox Podcast.

With one week remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season, the Seattle Sports Guy and creator of The Funny 115, Mario Lanza, returns to the Jack Vita Show to discuss the Seattle Mariners' season and the latest trends within the game of baseball. Mario and Jack also take a broader look at the sport, from a national perspective. Mario is one the most knowledgeable Seattle sports fans on the planet. Each year, Mario leaves us a voice message, providing a detailed outlook for the coming Mariners' season, in our AL West Preview show. And each year, Mario has a generally positive outlook entering the season. He's remained quite patient and rational, even while the M's have just barely missed the postseason two of the last three seasons. It appears Mario's patience has run out, however. Find out why this is one of Mario's least favorite Mariners teams of his lifetime. Sunday, the Mariners held a four-run lead over the Texas Rangers entering the bottom of the sixth inning. The M's blew a 4-0 lead, falling to the Rangers 6-5, and squandering an opportunity to move up in the American League Wild Card standings. Both teams in front of the M's in the AL Wild Card standings — the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins — lost on Sunday. With six games left, Seattle is two games back of the Royals for the final AL Wild Card spot. The Mariners are still very much alive, but they have their work cut out for them this week. Three teams from the AL Central sit in front of the Mariners in the Wild Card standings, and all three of them can thank the Chicago White Sox for part of their success this season. Both the Royals and Twins are 12-1 versus the lowly South Siders in 2024, and the Tigers are 9-1, with one series remaining before season's end. Meanwhile, the White Sox (36-120) are on the cusp of putting together the worst regular season record in MLB history. Mario and Jack talk about the 2024 White Sox. Have either of them scene a worse Major League team before? Later, Mario and Jack discuss how dominant pitching has become in Major League Baseball and the remarkable seasons Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are enjoying. Mario and Jack discuss the state of baseball in 2024, thoughts on the 2024 season, baseball fights, and so much more along the way! You can follow Mario on Twitter, @MarioJLanza. He hosts two podcasts: Survivor Historians and Staff Picks. He wrote a book on the first three seasons of CBS' hit reality competition show Survivor called "When it was Worth Playing For".

For the first time since the end of June, the Chicago White Sox won a series. Thanks to an Andrew Benintendi walk-off home run on Saturday night and homers from Gavin Sheets and Bryan Ramos on Sunday, the Sox took two games from the Oakland Athletics. Sean Burke started for the South Siders today, setting the Sox up for a win. Burke pitched 5 innings, allowed 5 hits, walked 2 hitters, and only surrendered 2 earned runs. What is Burke's future with the team? Join the CHGO White Sox crew, Sean Anderson and Herb Lawrence as they discuss! Plus, CHGO White Sox Beat Writer, Vinnie Duber will join from Guaranteed Rate Field.

For the second night in a row, the Chicago Cubs trailed early against the White Sox and the Cubs made big comeback. The Chicago suburban Mike Tauchman added to his legend hitting a walk off homer en route to a Cubs 7-6 win at Wrigley Field. After the Cubs trailed 5-1 the hits by Dansby Swanson, Ian Happ and Tauchman got the Cubs back in the win column. On the down side, Jameson Taillon struggled this turn through the rotation and Hayden Wesneski allowed a homer in his second consecutive appearance. Cody Delmendo, Luke Stuckmeyer, and Ryan Herrera break down the sweep of the Southsiders on this edition of the CHGO Cubs Podcast.
