🥂 THIS IS CHICAGO is celebrating 25 episodes today with a special double-length story 🥂
What happens when a self-described member of Black religious royalty has his "Disney moment," but standing amid the imagined birds and butterflies is, unexpectedly, another young man? I'd love if you listened:

Anyone have a pre-teen or teen in their life who is big into "The Nightmare Before Christmas" merch — clothing, posters, collectibles, etc. — and would be willing to chat with a friendly journalist (me) about it?
It's for a story tied to the film's 30th anniversary.

"This series of short audio portraits from Chicago draws from the long lineage of oral history recording in the city, perhaps inspired by the likes of Studs Terkel and the assumption that everyone has a story if you just ask."

As part of my research, I'm looking to talk with disabled workers with accommodations in the Chicago area--as well as folks with informal or no accommodations. If that's you or someone you know, please hit me up. Interviews will be compensated.
FWIW, I come at this as a disabled sociologist.

@ashliedstevens.bsky.social wrote a lovely thing about Pee-wee (in which she also asked me things about clowns).
