Chicagoist Podcast 5/18 - Boxing, Biking, And Breasts

By Karl Klockars in Arts & Entertainment on May 18, 2009 6:00PM

It might seem to some like excessive navelgazing when we chit-chat amongst ourselves in the Chicagoist Podcast Series, but sometimes it's because there's more to the story behind the photographs and posts. For example: Haven't you been just a little bit curious about what went into our coverage of the Golden Gloves Boxing competition and the So You Think You Can Strip competition?

Well, I was, so in this episode of the Chicagoist Podcast Series we check in with our own Kate Gardiner to find out what attracted her to photographing dozens of bloody, sweaty guys and also to shooting naked amateur strippers. Is there anything that's a common theme through the whole set of stories?

In addition: How hard is it to shut down Lake Shore Drive just to put 20,000 bicyclers on it? Do you have to show up bright and early at 5:30am just to ride on LSD for a morning? And where are the naked bicyclists? Margo O'Hara from Bike The Drive joins the podcast to talk about all these things and more regarding the BtD even coming up next Sunday morning.

Would you like access to all of our podcasts directly through iTunes for free? Would you like to find out what we've been doing for the past 3 months in the Podcast Series via our RSS feed? Would you like to let us know what we should be covering in the upcoming future? All of these are options - or you can just listen and (hopefully) enjoy. Until next week, thanks for your attention!
