Policing the DNC, Sky's Unfair Coverage, and Free Metra Rides
Earlier this week law enforcement officials including Chicago Police Department Superintendent Larry Snelling assured Chicagoans that CPD is prepared for the DNC. However, Inspector General Deborah Witzburg pushed back, explaining, “persistent concerns remain about whether Chicago police officers are prepared to lawfully police the massive protests.” Joining us to break down the latest updates are Chicago Reader news editor Shawn Mulcahy and Tribune sportswriter Shakeia Taylor. Plus, we discuss how Sky players are navigating increasingly toxic media coverage, a mango warehouse in Romeoville, and free Metra rides this weekend.

Why Extreme Heat is Worse in Some Neighborhoods
As Summertime Chi heats up, some neighborhoods will be hotter than others. And with those higher temps come bigger risks from extreme heat. Last year we talked with Tribune reporter Sarah Macaraeg, who investigated and mapped these disparities. She told us what she found and explained what the city could do to protect all Chi neighborhoods.

School Budget Cuts, Rebuilding Prisons, and Cicada Malört
Chicago Public Schools’ new funding formula moves away from enrollment-based funding to a needs-based approach that they say prioritizes the most vulnerable schools and students. But Chicago Sun-Times education reporter Nader Issa tells host Jacoby Cochran how individual school budgets are a mixed bag, with hundreds of schools expected to see staff and after-school program cuts next school year. We’re also joined by Injustice Watch’s Kelly Garcia to discuss Cook County’s plan to reduce the size of the juvenile detention center, the governor’s push to rebuild two state prisons, and more things we are looking forward to in June.
