In the late 1940s and well into the 1950s, Chicago was plagued by fires that had one key thing in common – they took place at often unsafe, threadbare hotels, injuring and even killing those who were already down on their luck. This is the story of Chicago’s Skid Row Flophouse Fires.

One man was robbed more than 190 times, knocked unconscious at least four times, and had an eardrum burst aboard Chicago’s L, each time with Chicago cops nearby watching, all in the name of public transportation safety.
This is the story of Chicago’s Mass Transit Decoy Squad of the 1970’s.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2020.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Lincoln Park had a “High Bridge” which rose 75 feet over the south lagoon's water. As welcoming to sightseers as the big beautiful bridge was, it also had a dark appeal, quickly earning it the dubious name “Suicide Bridge.”

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day 2025, here's a little history about Chicago's connection to preserving Irish music, originally posted in March of 2022.
He served as a Chicago policeman for more than 32 years and was Chicago’s chief of police for four, but Francis O’Neill is probably better known for his efforts in preserving the music of his homeland. Today we’re talking about Police Chief Francis O’Neill – Chicago’s Savior of Irish Music.

Originally released in September of 2021, this episode has been enhanced with additional music and sound effects.
Sixteen years before Al Capone came to Chicago and long before anyone could blame violence on video games, three boys just out of their teens became robbers and worse in Chicago with brazen acts of thievery and wanton killings. Today we’re discussing the Automatic Trio and the Car Barn Murders.

This episode's guest is Mitchell Bisschop, who wrote and stars in the play "Royko: The Toughest Man in Chicago," which runs Sept. 5-29, 2024, at the Chopin Theatre. Mitchell and I discuss celebrated newspaper columnist Mike Royko, Chicago newspapers, growing up in Barrington, IL as a theatre nerd, and how this one-man play came together. Don't worry if you don't know much about Mike Royko - I include a (somewhat) brief bio before the interview.

It was an innovative idea in its day - a 200 store indoor shopping center 35 miles outside of Chicago with a 31-ride amusement park in the middle. Unfortunately, once you throw in costly delays, waning attendance, lackluster store selection, competition, and a trapeze death, that's when trouble starts.
This is the story of Old Chicago, billed at the time as the "world's first enclosed combination theme park and shopping center," which in five years went from the next big thing to bust.

FROM THE ARCHIVES from October, 2020:
On Memorial Day, May 25th, 1981, a 25-year-old year old sport climber dressed as comic book hero Spider-Man used a system of suction cups and other climbing gear to scale the outside of the 110-story Sears Tower, which at that time was the tallest building in the world. He came back later that year to climb the John Hancock Center. This is the story of Spider-Dan Goodwin, who was kind enough to let me interview him for this episode.

With Chicago air quality ranging from "Unhealthy" to "Very Unhealthy" to "Downright Unbreathable" most of this week, I thought I'd drag out this episode from the archives.
During a time of tuberculosis and cholera taking a deadly toll on Chicago's children, "Fresh Air" sanitariums were built to help provide children and mothers relief from the heat, with access to food, milk, and health services. One of those buildings was built on a man-made island, and both the building and island are still in use today.

One from the archives for your Memorial Day weekend listening. Enjoy.
It was an industry that at one time employed 700,000 workers, including 200,000 here in the Chicago area. Italians, Poles, Mexicans, African Americans, and others willing to put in a long and sometimes dangerous day’s work found good pay and a career working at the steel mills. Then gradually, it went away… but not before one fateful Memorial Day protest turned deadly.

A local gal who worked at the Edgewater before becoming a singing sensation and the Edgewater Beach Hotel's connection to the Edgewater Hospital, with special guest Todd M. Ganz.
Todd and Stephani Young hosted the podcast If The Walls Could Talk, which does a deep dive into Chicago's Edgewater Hospital and details a history involving Medicare fraud, unnecessary surgeries, mentally ill people being bussed in from other parts of the city, embezzlement, suicides, and worse. I interviewed Todd and Stephani on episode 306 back in June 2021.

The World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 showcased the people and cultures from 46 countries on 690 acres of land south of downtown Chicago a little more than 20 years after the Great Fire of 1871 decimated the city.
27 million people visited the World’s Fair at a time when the country’s population was not quite 63 million, proving to all that Chicago had truly risen from the ashes.
Today I’m talking with Michael Finney, who not only authored 1893 Chicago's Columbian Exposition: Arts & Culture from the Doorstep of the 20th Century, but also directed the documentary “1893 Chicago’s Columbian Exposition.”

In November of 2020, Chicago’s WTTW debuted a new special called Chicago From The Air, narrated by Geoffrey Baer and produced by Eddie Griffin. Utilizing drones and the skills of local pilots, Chicago From The Air gave viewers a unique look at places many of us know but have never seen from above.
Geoffrey Baer and Eddie Griffin are back with Beyond Chicago From The Air, which debuts on Wednesday, December 1st, at 7:30pm, and I was fortunate enough to discuss it with them.

During a time of tuberculosis and cholera taking a deadly toll on Chicago's children, "Fresh Air" sanitariums were built to help provide children and mothers relief from the heat, with access to food, milk, and health services. One of those buildings was built on a man-made island, and both the building and island are still in use today.

In 1966, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley announced that the first week of June would be known as “Puerto Rican Week.” One day after the celebrations ended, an incident near Division Street and Damen Avenue set off three days of upheaval between local Puerto Rican residents and Chicago police. This is the story of the Division Street Riots of 1966.

It was an industry that at one time employed 700,000 workers, including 200,00 here in the Chicago area. Italians, Poles, Mexicans, African Americans, and others willing to put in a long and sometimes dangerous day’s work found good pay and a career working at the steel mills. Then gradually, it went away… but not before one fateful Memorial Day protest turned deadly.

In this episode I'm joined by Kelli Marshall, host of Chicago Movie Tours (chicagomovietours.com) and screenwriter Gregory Widen (Backdraft, Highlander, The Prophecy) to discuss the 30th anniversary of Backdraft (1991).
Shot here in Chicago in 1990 and released on May 24, 1991, Backdraft set the tone for firefighting movies and TV shows and was a huge boost for Chicago film production in the early 90s.

BONUS EPISODE! The response to episode 224 about the Cicero Race Riots of 1951 has been so strong I decided to record a few extra stories that didn’t make the final script. If you haven’t listened to the full episode yet, please do so otherwise these extras might not make much sense. Enjoy.
It is a suburb on the outskirts of Chicago with ties to Al Capone, manufacturing, and in the 1950’s was the site of three days of chaos, sparked by an African American family trying to legally move into an apartment building in the all-white city. This is the story of the Cicero Race Riots of 1951.
NOTE: This episode deals with racial violence, the destruction of personal property, and a few words to denote African Americans that were used in publications of the day that are no longer politically correct, but to be fair to the reporting of the stories are important for context. Listen accordingly.

There was a time when in order to receive blood at a hospital, it needed to be donated directly from a donor to the recipient. One man changed that with the invention of a way to store blood in a "blood bank." Along the way, that man spoke out against fake "cures" that did more harm than good and also tried to make children's medicine a little easier for kids to swallow. This is the story of Dr. Bernard Fantus and The Blood Bank.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, a familiar sight near the river and Clark Street was the Rouse Simmons, also known as The Christmas Tree Ship, and its captain Herman Schuenemann, who became known to families as Captain Santa.
During a trip from upper Michigan to Chicago in November of 1912, all of that changed.

On Memorial Day, May 25th, 1981, a 25-year-old year old sport climber dressed as comic book hero Spider-Man used a system of suction cups and other climbing gear to scale the outside of the 110-story Sears Tower, which at that time was the tallest building in the world. He came back later that year to climb the John Hancock Center. This is the story of Spider-Dan Goodwin, who was kind enough to let us interview him for this episode.

For a city long defined by fire, nothing could have prepared Chicago for the tragedy at the Catholic grade school Our Lady of the Angels on December 1, 1958. Chicago Fire Commissioner Robert Quinn may have summed things up most succinctly when he said of the fire at the time, “It was the worst thing I have ever seen or ever will see.”

A hitchhiking ghost, walking along a lonely stretch of road in a white dress on her way to a cemetery. To many Chicagoans, the mere mention of the name "Resurrection Mary" will give the listener chills.
Was there a Mary? If so, who was she and how and when did the lore of Resurrection Mary get started? What about the cemetery around which the tale revolves and the town in which the cemetery is based?
All this and more in this episode of the Chicago History Podcast!

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Lincoln Park had a “High Bridge” which rose 75 feet over the south lagoon water. As much appeal to sightseers as the big beautiful bridge had, it also had a dark appeal, quickly earning it the dubious name “Suicide Bridge.”

Chicago is the city that claims to be first in regards to many things. This episode has a bit of that but also stories about the first time certain events happened in the windy city. The band Nirvana's first visit to Chicago, the first ski resort in Chicago city limits, the first film studio established by an African American, the first animal cartoon, and more!

It is a film that tops many Chicagoans’ lists of their favorite movies shot mainly here in the second city and most certainly is a huge part of Chicago history. Today, June 20th, 2020, marks the 40th Anniversary of the release of the much-loved film.
In this episode we look at The Blues Brothers – not just the making of the movie, but the creation of the iconic characters known as Jake and Elwood Blues, and their indelible mark on pop culture and Chicago history.

Chicago-based theater director Gary Griffin's bio is too long to fit in this space (wow, this guy has been busy), but a few notable mentions include working with Chicago's Victory Gardens Theatre, directing multiple Stephen Sondheim productions at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, directing The Color Purple on Broadway as well as other high profile musicals like Footloose and Honeymoon in Vegas. He has also been twice been named a "Chicagoan of the Year in the Arts" by the Chicago Tribune.
Before all of the above, Gary ventured out to the western suburbs of Chicago to direct a junior college production of The Normal Heart, Larry Kramer's play about the AIDS crisis in New York in the early 80's.

Was she a good girl gone bad, as some news reports would have you believe, or was Wanda Stopa a naïve, lovestruck woman taken advantage of by an older man? Either way, this is a story that rocked Chicago's news in April of 1924, when the youngest female attorney in Chicago's history got into a cab with murder on her mind.

Hannah Stanley has worked in radio and television for over 20 years. Her experience includes hosting live programs on multiple stations, including WGN, one of the most well-respected stations here in Chicago, and hosting a variety of podcasts. What I really wanted to hear about was Hannah's first time taking the stage to perform stand up comedy, 20+ years after first saying she really wanted to try it.

It was an innovative idea in its day - a 200 store indoor shopping center 35 miles outside of Chicago with a 31-ride amusement park in the middle. Unfortunately, once you throw in costly delays, waning attendance, lackluster store selection, competition, and a trapeze death, that's when trouble starts.
This is the story of Old Chicago, billed at the time as the "world's first enclosed combination theme park and shopping center," which in five years went from the next big thing to bust.

You don't always have to be first, but when you are it certainly feels good. Chicago has had its share of firsts. The first skyscraper? Built in Chicago. The first female police officer? Chicago again. The first moving walkway? Chicago in 1893. Hear more details about these and other instances in which Chicago has led the way as well as a handful of other "first" stories.

Chicago has a long history with beer and breweries. Starting in 1881 and continuing for over 80 years, one street in Chicago was home to many breweries that experienced a number of highs and some might agree even more lows.

Episode Three of the Chicago History Podcast looks at Tuts and Avalon, two clubs that occupied the second floor of a building in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood between 1978 and 1994. Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Psychedelic Furs, Material Issue, Stone Temple Pilots, Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds, Brand New Heavies, Violent Femmes, Tragically Hip, Arrested Development, Los Lobos, and so many other bands took the stage there and added to Chicago's musical history. Check out Episode 102 of the Chicago History Podcast to hear more about the previous tenant at that address - Quiet Knight.

For 25 years, one building housed some of Chicago's most interesting music venues. In this episode, we'll discuss the first rock club at that address and how Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffet, and many, many others added to this amazing part of the city's history.
Music from the Quiet Knight era's performers (1969-1969) can be found on Spotify.
