Kim Foxx Gets Real, Toxic Radio Industry and Bulls Keep Bringing It
It’s the first Friday of November and we have two huge Bulls fans with us to look back on a few stories from across Chicago. The Triibe’s Tonia Hill and WBEZ reporter Susie An join us to discuss the media’s coverage of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, the growing number of women in Chicago radio speaking out against a toxic workplace culture, and we ask, “Why so much shade Scottie?” Also, we’re still talking about school lunches!
Guests:
Suzie An—Reporter, WBEZ
Tonia Hill—Producer, The Triibe
