Curious City - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I grew up in Chicago in the 1950s and 60s. I love Chicago history and you bring it to life in just a few minutes. The story of Dunning hit home. I took psychiatric nursing there in 1966. My father's aunt was a patient there until it closed and she was placed in a nursing home. Thanks for telling the stories that would be forgotten.

Such great episodes about so much Chicago history! I am taken back to my childhood memories all the way ahead to today with so many little known experiences. Nothing phony here. The guests are real Chicagoans, telling their memories of the city I love. Subscribe and binge away.

I love the stories this pod covers and shares with its audience! I do wish there were fewer repeated stories and fewer corporate sponsors/ads, but it's overall good info that I keep coming back for.

Thank you for this episode about the history and inner workings of the city boards/councils as they relate to police accountability. I was caught off guard learning we are voting on council members but this put everything in perspective—including the magnitude of the mayoral election in Chicago.

This podcast WAS great for digging into interesting Chicago related topics of all kinds. But…recently, it’s become incredibly short and shallowly researched little blips of info. 7 minutes long to delve into a topic?? They barely even scratch the surface anymore. Do they think that everyone has short attention spans now? Or some kind of budget cuts made and they just don’t have the time or people to put in decent work? Regardless of the reasons, it’s a shadow of its former self.
