Chicago History Podcast

This is a wonderful collection of Chicago history, well presented and produced. I just started listening and am happy to have many episodes to explore.

I don’t know what happened, this used to be my favorite pod but these days it seems like every episode is a rerun or an interview with someone. Loved the old format, hope he goes back to it

This is the best of the best when it comes to Chicago history. The episodes are often a deep dive into the neighborhoods of all parts of the city and sometimes the surrounding suburbs. A must-listen if you currently live in the city, are a former resident, or if you just want a better understanding of what makes Chicago, Chicago. Enjoy!

This podcast is one of the many things that made me fall in love w/ the city of Chicago. I started listening when I loved to Chicago last year for grad school while I commuted for hours a day on the EL. This podcast helped me learn the history of the places that I passed on the train and where I was visiting. I love how he explores the lesser discussed history of the city. I also really appreciate the diversity of perspectives that he incorporates into his episodes. You can tell a lot of love and thought goes into each episode. Even if you aren’t a history buff or a Chicago resident, you should give this podcast a listen. It’s awesome. Please keep up the great work!
