The wind and cold weather have been relentless along the Lake Michigan shore today. Good for us that we actually work along the Lake Michigan shore. So this weather gave us a great opportunity to test out a new game show we’ve been working on here at WBEZ. It’s called Beat the Wind and we take the lightest staffers we have and put them in harm’s way. The last standing wins a Car Talk mug. The others? Swept into the lake, never to be seen again. Let’s play!

*We also got a new video camera, so we were testing it out. Looks good, eh? Also, special thanks to Nick White, Susie An and Sarah Lu for participating in this pilot.
