It’s exactly the level of detail, frequency, and content I was looking for to stay up to date on all things Chicago/IL news!

This show is exactly what I was looking for when trying to find a podcast that focuses only on Chicago news. Most other local news podcasts work in world news, which I get enough of from BBC

The Run Down offers an awesome way for me to connect with my brother. Not only do I get two episode of pertinent local news per day, but I also get a nuanced and very intentional cultural lesson about our beautiful city. So many times I have sent a midday episode to my brother to connect with him on interesting history/culture of Chicago. For example, the episode about the black pilots of the city was such a cool episode to connect with him on. Thank you for all you do, Run Down team! Your work matters!

I stumbled upon the show in my NPR One app, and now it is my favorite.

This show is a daily driver of news and information, but also a valuable resource of culture, arts, life, and experiences that are true and authentic to the City of Chicago. The Rundown is a must. I’m an Android listener who logged into Apple for the first time in 6 years to give you 5 stars.

My favorite Chicago news podcast! Covers super interesting topics, goes in depth and personal and historical.

This is EXCELLENT, just what I needed in my queue. I’m quite enamored of the format: a morning edition with a news roundup, an afternoon edition with either a Cook County human interest story, or a focus on some community event, or possibly even more news … and of course, I can listen to them whenever I have time — most excellent. I particularly like the conscientious way in which you frequently give voice to communities which have more typically been marginalized. Bravo, good work all around!

I can’t pay attention to what they are talking about most of the time—so much “up-speak” making every sentence a question. My middle aged nerves can’t take it. I went back to the more mature content. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Love the youthful voice

I started as a skeptic. This podcast has grown on me and I think it's well worth your time. The host does a great job and interruptions are minimal. PS. I have only listened to the morning version so this review may not apply to the afternoon version.

We absolutely need this. Perfect length too. Thank you for doing this. Great idea!

The show is exactly what I was looking for. A local news show that is brief and fun
