A new WBEZ series examines how Chicago's institutions interact with its residents.

How do Chicago institutions and seats of power work for, or at times against, the city's residents? That question is one of several at the heart of a new WBEZ series in collaboration with the University of Chicago. The series is called "Re-Imagine Chicago" and is hosted by our next guest, who joined WBEZ in December as host of the station's flagship midday show "Reset."
