Open Ended

This week, Cher and James welcome special guest Molly Marshall while discussing community outreach in Awesome Foundation, creating communities online and IRL, and the recent success of Podcast Club, including the announcement of their live event. During Open Call, Cher talks about a New York restaurant, James shares his love for a recent Reply All episode, and Molly talks about the Garfield Park Conservatory. We also have a new segment, Open Mic, where we square off with our guest in mini debates! We are sponsored this week by: Emporium Arcade Bar: Emporium hosts awesome games, beer, food, and live music events daily in Wicker Park and Logan Square. Visit emporiumchicago.com for info. We also have announcements like: We are kicking off a new fundraising goal for 2015! We have our eyes on a portable recorder so we can start doing more on-site interviews, continue to pay our guests, and make this podcast sustainable.
