Did you know that Chicago is a capital of the post-punk scene? We sent our Reset colleagues @maxlubbers + @eejpeej to check out a museum that captures the city’s industrial music history. 🎵

The union at WBEZ is working to save Vocalo and needs folks to sign this petition to show that there is public support for that programming and staff.
Please sign and share as much as possible! Vocalo has propped up so many artists in the city, let’s go!

Before board members kicked us off the Zoom call, a @WBEZUnion member told them about the ~2,000 signatures supporting our demands that they provide financial transparency and accountability.
Board members did not acknowledge the comment or respond.

CPM says our values include “having each others backs” and being “present in our community.” The dismantling of the @WBEZ podcast team and severe cuts to @Vocalo flagrantly disregard these ideals. Please help us #SaveWBEZ and #SaveVocalo.

Over the weekend a lifelong Chicagoan asked me **in tears** why @Vocalo is being shut down. To her, she said, Vocalo IS #Chicago.
That's why I'm asking you to sign our letter to management today demanding these cuts be reversed: https://t.co/DTkbFL1tbR

It’s been a great run, but in due time watch me fly 💪🏾. S/o to everyone who has texted, DM’d, and or mentioned me. I’ll be announcing my last show date on @Vocalo soon 🫶🏾
Vocalo Radio gave some of Chicago’s biggest stars their start. It will shut down next month.
“We built relationships and championed artists,” a former director of the station said. “It’s a loss for Chicago culture.” https://t.co/Nw6cIfYFDa
Amidst the WBEZ/Vocalo fallout, I want to give 💐 to @HeenaSriv , one of the best producers I’ve ever worked with in any medium. She is creative, inquisitive, and brilliant at narrative. She would be a tremendous asset to any team. Major free agent on the market. HIRE HER! ⭐️
WBEZ SAG-AFTRA leadership is deeply disappointed that Chicago Public Media has decided to lay off nine of our colleagues who create some of the station’s most lauded, well-known programs. This decision eliminates our podcast department, which includes the shows Nerdette…
Sun-Times Guild leadership is disturbed by the layoffs of nine of our @WBEZUnion siblings and five non-union colleagues at the Sun-Times and WBEZ.
We are demanding financial transparency from the Chicago Public Media board and management about the future of the organization.
“I’ve always thought that listening in the car is my favorite way to hear it...”
Before its release, @senmorimoto debuted his album ‘Diagnosis’ with a listening party at the drive-in theater. We caught up with Sen & others at the party – listen now!
