The end of the year, especially when it closes out a decade, is chock full of lists. We here at the Chicagoist Podcast Series have tried to make things easy on you and give you an audio version of the year-end retrospectacular list, for you to jam in your ears and enjoy at your leisure.

Pod bless us, everyone.
