Chicago’s Worst Pests, Beating the Heat, and Burden or Delight
About this episode
Move over summer fests — we’re talking about summer pests. The longest day of the year is also set to be one of the hottest in Chicago, so host Jacoby Cochran and contributor Greta Johnsen talk about ways to beat the heat this weekend, play a game of “burden or delight,” and give us the definitive ranking of Chicago’s creepiest and crawliest pests from rats, to bedbugs, to mosquitoes. Take our survey and tell us which one is the worst.
Weekend events:
Intro to Embroidery
Chinatown Dragon Boat Racing
Muddy Waters Museum Front Porch Series
Fever vs. Sky at Wintrust Arena
Some good news: Join the waitlist to be in the audience for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart during the Democratic National Convention.
