Sean CaineHOST
We're either at or nearly at two million episode downloads, which is just crazy to think about the impact that we've had in terms of who's listening and where they're listening from all over the world.
Sean CaineHOST
You know, about 20% of our listenership comes from Illinois, Chicago area, which means 80% is coming from elsewhere, which is really crazy to think about.
PatelHOST
Yeah.
PatelHOST
That is exciting.
Aron SousaGUEST
It was the first institution accredited as that, barely beating out New Mexico probably.
Aron SousaGUEST
So this is in the 1960s.
Aron SousaGUEST
The notion of a medical school not intimately tied to a hospital was not something that the accrediting bodies liked, which is why Chicago Medical School had trouble getting accredited-
Sean CaineHOST
Mm-hmm

CoreyHOST
Look, I'm with Stan, so he's saying, uh, would you rather have your practice area miles away from the stadium or next to it? The Saints practice facility is in a different parish.
Scott SwitzerHOST
Yeah, the Bears is North Chicago, like not even close to downtown, but you know what they do have? Showers.
CoreyHOST
Yeah.
CoreyHOST
I mean-
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
Um- One of my favorite things that we created is a free resource pillar-based guide for different towns and communities.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
So it's basically, um, separated by pillar section, and we specifically, our first one was created for the Waukegan and North Chicago communities, and over time we'll continue building that with different towns.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
We also created a movement guide filled with a month's work of at-home under 30-minute workouts.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
So each week includes an upper body workout, a lower body workout, and, um, a cardio and core workout.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
So we give them ACLM pillar flyers for those two weakest pillars, and if one of them is nutrition, which it often is, um, we add the ACLM Food Jumpstart guide and the NIH Latino Heart Health recipe guide.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
And then if one of them is physical activity, which it often is, um, we add the movement guide that we created, as well as the yoga mat and the resistance bands.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
And then for each patient, we'll give out the pillar-based resource guide for Waukegan and North Chicago.
Pamela PerepelitskyGUEST
And then if we find out that they do have diabetes or hypertension, and they're currently tracking their blood pressure or glucose at home, we'll give them that health tracker as well.
LillyHOST
So this one comes from Jennifer B.
LillyHOST
She is a doula in Illinois, and she serves the Chicagoland area, North Chicago suburbs and the Southwest Chicago suburbs, and the Illinois-Wisconsin border and Milwaukee-Wisconsin.
LillyHOST
Dang, she serves everywhere, apparently.
LillyHOST
She's amazing.
Brett PetoHOST
She's taught countless programs, bird-watching hotspots, Sunday strolls, guided hike-like county walks.
Brett PetoHOST
Perhaps her favorites to teach have been community campfires held on Friday nights at Greenbelt Forest Preserve in North Chicago.
Brett PetoHOST
These casual evenings invite families to roast marshmallows, hear stories, make crafts, and take a nighttime hike.
Brett PetoHOST
They reach new audiences.
Brett PetoHOST
Barbara has written Spanish captions for videos in the museum's galleries.
Brett PetoHOST
Solving history mysteries is another passion.
Brett PetoHOST
Combing through records, Barbara determined the museum's namesake, Best Bower Dunn, born 1877, died 1959, is buried at the North Shore Garden of Memories in North Chicago.
Brett PetoHOST
Dunn was Lake County's first official historian, serving for 60 years, still the longest serving Lake County employee on record.
Scott BeckerHOST
That is remarkable.
Scott BeckerHOST
