Our podcast is back for season 2!

Chicagoan Andrea Lee had a problem.

When she looked across the street from her condo building in the city’s Noble Square neighborhood, the 35-year-old noticed that her neighbors had something she didn’t: recycling bins.

So Andrea did what many Chicagoans with neighborhood problems do: She called her local alderman, only to learn that aldermanic power (at least when it comes to refuse collection) ain’t what it used to be.

She asked Curious City:

“If these are the city services that are supposed to be tackled by the aldermen, and this isn’t what they’re actually doing, then what are they doing?”

My name is Jonathan Binder and I am originally from the home of WBEZ Chicago! But moved to Atlanta and worked for what is sadly no longer CNN Radio. The tag line for this idea: "Come closer" or "Listen closely". So the concept is my voice getting closer and closer until you hear the intimate sound of the word "podcasts." I hope you like it.
