Show Notes

The Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project is raising the alarm about the lack of water safety education and the dangers of Lake Michigan. Chicago's Loyola University is celebrating Sister Jean's 106th birthday. Chicago’s Museum of Broadcast Communications will reopen this fall in a new location with exhibits that will dive deep into the history of late night television. Plus, steakhouses open regularly, but this year brings an especially large crop of newcomers to the Chicago area. Between the fresh faces and the old guard, is Chicago teetering on steakhouse saturation? WBEZ culture reporter Courtney Kueppers sat down in-studio with food contributor Maggie Hennessy to survey our prime beef scene.
