They do a great job of summarizing local Chicago & state-wide news in an easily digestible format.

This show is exactly what I was looking for when trying to find a podcast that focuses only on Chicago news. Most other local news podcasts work in world news, which I get enough of from BBC.

An excellent and concise breakdown of Chicago news!

A part of my morning routine is to listen to the 5 minute Rundown episodes with Adora Namiga Day (apologies if this is misspelled that’s how the transcript wrote your name). When listening I’ve learned of cool events and stay up to date on what’s happening in the Chicagoland area.

Hopelessly woke, soft “journalism.” Approaches every story with an activist stance. For example, with the nascar race, they didn’t report on any hard facts like attendance, results, economic impact etc.; instead they just interviewed some people who “feel like” the audience is getting more...Read full review »

It’s exactly the level of detail, frequency, and content I was looking for to stay up to date on all things Chicago/IL news!

The Run Down offers an awesome way for me to connect with my brother. Not only do I get two episode of pertinent local news per day, but I also get a nuanced and very intentional cultural lesson about our beautiful city. So many times I have sent a midday episode to my brother to connect with him...Read full review »

I stumbled upon the show in my NPR One app, and now it is my favorite.

This show is a daily driver of news and information, but also a valuable resource of culture, arts, life, and experiences that are true and authentic to the City of Chicago. The Rundown is a must. I’m an Android listener who logged into Apple for the first time in 6 years to give you 5 stars.

My favorite Chicago news podcast! Covers super interesting topics, goes in depth and personal and historical.

This is EXCELLENT, just what I needed in my queue. I’m quite enamored of the format: a morning edition with a news roundup, an afternoon edition with either a Cook County human interest story, or a focus on some community event, or possibly even more news … and of course, I can listen to them...Read full review »

I can’t pay attention to what they are talking about most of the time—so much “up-speak” making every sentence a question. My middle aged nerves can’t take it. I went back to the more mature content. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I started as a skeptic. This podcast has grown on me and I think it's well worth your time. The host does a great job and interruptions are minimal. PS. I have only listened to the morning version so this review may not apply to the afternoon version.Read full review »

The show is exactly what I was looking for. A local news show that is brief and fun
