'Shades of the City' podcast passes the mic to the people of Chicago

"Shades of the City" is a new podcast from WBBM and Audacy that tells the stories of the people, their communities and their love for the city that made them — Chicago.

In the first season of the podcast, host Lauren Brown talks to listeners across the Chicagoland area to learn more about Chicago's history, the culture and how important it is for people to work together. The podcast features Chicago changemakers like Shermann “Dilla” Thomas, Dr. Margena Christian, Pat Shymanski, Grace Chan McKibben and more. "Shades of the City" is all about passing the mic to the people and allowing them to tell their stories their way.

Tune in every other Friday starting March 11th on the Audacy app, Apple podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or wherever you get your podcasts.
