In just over a week, the Cubs will play a one-off wild card game against the Pirates. If they beat Pittsburgh, they move onto the Cardinals. But if you remember 1969, or 1984, or ‘89, ‘98, ‘03, ‘07, ‘08…you know that the Cubs have a tough time in the post-season. We talk with listeners about whether they’re keeping their enthusiasm in check or letting it all hang out. We also speak with the producer of a new documentary about the Black Panther Party. It revisits a moment in American history that included the killing of Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton by Chicago police. And we have a conversation with longtime Chicago stage actor Mike Nussbaum.
