Each Friday, Morning Shift interviews three local journalists from inside and outside the WBEZ newsroom to bring context and analysis to the biggest Chicagoland and Illinois news stories of the week. The goal is to get listeners up to speed on what they might have missed over the last five days so they’re feeling prepared to understand the latest about our city and state going into the weekend. 

For this Friday’s installment, the panel touches on a number of big stories, including the State of the Union, State of the State, news about the golf course coming to Jackson Park on the South Side, and revelations in a new book that notable women in Illinois politics like Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and Chicago City Clerk endured sexual harassment.
