We're all grounded by Coronavirus, so I figured this was as good a time as any to catch up with some of the people who've hosted me on the road over the years. This time, we're visiting with Lori, who puts me up in Chicago. After her tour of the condo and all her fabulous kitsch, Lori and I talk about her relationship to the city, the history of her neighborhood and her efforts to better working conditions for Uber and Lyft drivers via the Chicago Ride Share Advocates.
