I haven't posted an update on the episode release schedule so this should make up for it.
We were back on August 20th with episode 6 featuring Aaron Urist as Father Quigley and Levi Squier as Father Daniels. Episode 7 dropped August 27th, featuring our roundtable of reporters with Chloe Bundt as Mindy, Maxwell Root as Trent, Collin Hughes as Quint, Michael Reid as Ned Baker, and Ken Gould as James Dysart.
A few notes to add. The Chicago Tribune newsroom was actually located in the Tribune Tower when I wrote the book. Some as***le bought the Tribune and is tearing it apart brick by brick. The Chicago Tribune moved out of the Tribune Tower in June 2018 into the Freedom Center, where they shared the facilities with the printing presses, which also prints the Sun-Times and The NewYork Times as well as other publications. Now the Freedom Center is being sold off to become a casino. The printing facilities are moving to Shaumburg, Illinois. Who knows what's happening to Tribune newsroom, which is being pared down to nothing. Sad what's happening to journalism in this country.
This book imagines one last big story of the century as the Tribune goes out, not with a whimper, but a bang
