Happy Friday and happy daylight saving time to you all! City Cast Chicago podcast host Jacoby Cochran and Block Club Chicago reporter Atavia Reed catch us up on some of the stories from the week. Given that The Godfather turned 50 this week, we talk about how Greta has managed to never watch the film. And are more young, female pop stars dropping f-bombs?
Plus, our trusted “resident epidemiologist” is back to talk us through the newest phase of the pandemic. Dr. Emily Landon is an infectious disease specialist at the University of Chicago. She answers listener questions about the lifting of mask mandates.
