Hosted by Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle, South Side Stories marks the first podcast collaboration between a public media organization and a cable television partner.

The podcast trailer and first two episodes – “Money or Merch” and “Englewood” are now available. New episodes will be available every Wednesday through September on WBEZ’s website and app, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere you find podcasts.
