Hello hi! I'm an artist and communicator, transplanted into Chicago from Detroit. I think a lot about transit, language, human behavior, wellness, science fiction and electronic music. News and conversations on the podcast are inspired by all of that – and some! – with the Windy City top of mind.
Yes, my name really is Hunter Clauss and I am definitely not a person WBEZ made up. (I've gotten that question.) When I'm not collecting a paycheck from the station, I'm running Dungeons & Dragons games for kids, trying to beat Elden Ring and being a bad but also good influence on my nephews. I've won an Investigative Reporter and Editors award and lost six Lisagor awards.
