Manage episode 358458342 series 3459297
Streetwise magazine has been a Chicago publication for almost 30 years. Before COVID 19, its vendors were ubiquitous on our streets. What happened to them when we were all forced to shelter in place? Executive Director Julie Youngquist talks about how Streetwise -- which is so much more than a magazine -- found the resources that kept the vendors and the magazine going until it was OK to be back on the streets.
Publisher and creative director Dave Hamilton and Rivet360 producer Jesse Betend tell about last year's partnership between the two organizations on the podcast Where I Stay. They join host Sheila Solomon for another edition of the Rivet360 podcast, Chicago Media Talks.
