Reset goes behind the headlines of the biggest local stories of the week with Erin Hegarty, City Hall reporter for the Daily Line, A.D. Quig, Cook County and Chicago government reporter for the Chicago Tribune and Tony Arnold, WBEZ politics editor.
Once a week Reset hosts a conversation on Twitter Spaces to bring you interviews beyond the show. Reset recently spoke to Dr. Marisa G. Franco and New York Times “friendship correspondent” Anna Goldfarb about why it’s difficult to make new friends in adulthood and how we can forge new connections at any stage in life.
All sorts of lessons (even about economics) can be learned from kids' books. On today's show, we visit an elementary school to try to teach third graders econ using some beloved childrens' classics. And, along the way, we learn a few things ourselves.
We’re back early this week, as promised in our last episode, to help you take in the spectacle underway on the floor of the House of Representatives. We give you the historical background, the constitutional framework, and we look at some of the tactical and political machinations playing out in as close to real time as podcasts allow. We also peek at the still-simmering Santos situation, which takes us back into the law classroom for a look at the classic case of Powell v. McCormack and how it resonates in this situation. This is “next week’s episode” this week to keep you ahead of the game.
