Post-pandemic Chicago in many ways is navigating a new crisis of
division. In this episode of the Crisis Cast, veteran
journalist Justin Kaufmann from Axios brings his giant map of 50
wards and unpacks the next chapter of mayoral politics in his
hometown.
Lissa & Thom come loaded with questions about Chicago's two most

breaks down some truths about voter turnout, and why he believes
the April runoff election for mayor is a referendum on the idealogy
of the Second City.
Plus, we saved some time for 16-inch softball trash talk.
