Hidden Gems Podcast
Julia Hesse-Fong, Kimika Padilla, and Sofia Garrick
The Hidden Gems podcast began as an independent project by Julia Hesse-Fong, Sofia Garrick, and Kimika Padilla. Originally featuring “hidden gems” —locations around Chicago that connect people to their urban environment—the podcast evolved in Spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our new episodes, Hidden Gems: Quarantine Edition, document life in Chicago during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of places, we chose to highlight people and organizations, and their efforts to promote resilience and maintain urban identity in the face of a global health crisis. This podcast is sponsored by Chicago Studies and the Program on the Global Environment at the University of Chicago.
