In three bite-size episodes every weekday, we’ll keep you informed, tickled, geeked, and pondering on Chicago’s news, culture and people. Start and end your day with quick news roundups from the WBEZ newsroom. Plus, every afternoon, dive deeper into conversations with the artists, journalists, and changemakers that shape the Windy City. The Rundown podcast is a one-stop-shop for all things Chicago.
A show about what happens when national issues walk into the doors of our emergency rooms.
