This hour, we're bringing you a favorite from our archive... Chicago. Hogbutcher to the world, jewel of the Midwest, and everything in-between.


Wild Onion by Gwen Macsai.

Chicago, as all Chicagoans know, means wild onion. Wild, as in feral, unpredictable, fierce, blustery, lunatic. Onion, as in layered, spicy, sometimes stinky, sometimes sweet, and always tear-inducing.


The Chicago Sound Drops:

  • Couple Two Tree by Sean Cole
  • Studs and Jimmy by Alan Hall
  • Riding Through the Summer by Katie Mingle,
  • Elevated (Grand Chicago) by Aaron Ximm
  • Chicago's Gangster by Heather Radke

  • The Big City by Sean Hurley
  • I've Never Lived in Chicago by Jonathan Mitchell
