Goodbye to a GOAT

This week, City Cast Chicago host Jacoby Cochran and Chicago Tribune music critic Britt Julious stop by to help us unwind and get ready for the weekend! We discuss Serena Williams’s retirement announcement, the rise of the Italian beef sandwich featured on The Bear, and why Gen Z TikTokers are making fun of millennials.

A NOTE FROM GRETA & ANNA

Hi Nerd! Hope you’re hanging in and taking care. I am off this week, so our guest host Araceli Gómez-Aldana is here to tell you what she has been enjoying this week:

Summer isn’t over! I can prove it. Rosalía just released her latest music video for DESPECHÁ and it’s all summer fun at the beach. 🏖️
I’m planning on watching Prey this weekend (you know the latest film in the Predator franchise), but after reading this article all I’ll be thinking about during the movie is Dane DiLiegro, the former basketball player in the suit.
August’s full moon, the Sturgeon Moon, is upon us. What’s cool is that it’s the last supermoon we’ll see this year. Enjoy!

And here are some things Nerdette producer Anna is into:

Yes there are raisins in this spaghetti with eggplant caponata and yes it is amazing, as are all of the late-summer vegetables in this recipe.
How do astronauts wash their hair in space??
The indie, electro-pop band Sylvan Esso is dropping their fourth album today. It’s called No Rules Sandy. Their single “Didn’t Care” is super fun!

Talk to you next week,
