On the last Friday of the month, Eight Forty-Eight served up the latest edition of the Month in Review. July made its statement via crazy weather--from derechos to monsoon-like rains.

To help sort through the month that was, Eight Forty-Eight was joined by three finely-tuned instruments of the news: WBEZ's own Richard Steele, Meribah Knight from the Chicago News Cooperative and writer and commentator, Ron Litke.
