Overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire, the Peshtigo, Wisconsin conflagration of 1871 remains the deadliest fire in U.S. history. In Episode 824, I explore the 1871 disaster and talk to Deborah Hufford, author of the historical novel The Fire Born. bit.ly/47584aJ or wherever you listen to podcasts

Look I don't know what drugs people are on wherever this account is based, but "North Americans" use umbrellas. That's not a Eurpean urbanism contraption. We also wear weather appropriate coats and shoes. Many North Americans forego umbrellas in favor or hooded jackets as it is windy af here.

Chicago’s most exciting punk venue is in the back of a taco joint—and it just paused putting on shows for the foreseeable future. I spoke to Casa Cafe’s main show organizer about what happened.

That's a good point about the boulevard system. The spaces along railroad tracks are also animal highways and living areas.

Whether it's Obama telling farmers to plant arugula in Iowa or Donald Trump telling Iranians to take out Los Angeles, both presidents made deeply insensitive statements about regions of the country.

Perhaps, the most Rich Miller thing I've ever read: "I have only one request: Please don't tie up my phone with texts and calls. I'm still working, after all, and plan to keep on keeping on as much as I can, so I'd rather that you send any well-wishes, etc. to my email account"

Faced with outrage over his use of taxpayer money for campaign ads, Trump now says he’ll use his PAC money. Will he pay back the money from ads that already ran? I want proof of what he says, because he’s a lying criminal.

Trump: The Radical Left is upset with the fact that I am taking Ads, which I consider to be a positive promotion for our Great U.S.A., and paying for them with U.S.A. money. This is a rather standard thing to do but, rather than doing that, although nothing will make them happy, I have decided to do the Patriotic Ads, among others, and pay for them myself, and with money I raised for MAGA, Inc. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Loop was super dead on weekends and evenings back in the 1990s. Then it started to get more lively as there were more shows at theaters. There are also a lot more people who live downtown. I hope it isn't sliding back in the old doldrums.
