 The Chicago Reporter’s Jeff Kelly Lowenstein discusses his analysis of the long-term costs of neglecting capital investment in the Regional Transportation Authority. Commentator Walter Jacobson joins us for a conversation about the latest developments in the race for the Democratic nomination for President. We talk with the curator of a series of films that explores the turmoil of the 1968 Democratic National Convention through four different perspectives. Then, Jonathan Miller reviews two films that address sexuality and openness. And Jonathan Abarbanel and Kelly Kleiman review Not a Game for Boys, on stage at A Red Orchid Theatre.
