I recently had the privilege of being interviewed by host Susie An of the podcast Curious City, produced by the WBEZ, the local NPR affiliate. For those not familiar, Curious City https://www.wbez.org/curious-city answers questions from listeners about the Chicago area. In this case, a group of school children were wondering if dinosaurs once roamed in the Chicago area. I think the Curious City team did a great job assembling an answer to this question, with interviews with me, Don Mikulic (Weis Museum) and Stephen Moshier (Wheaton College). I recommend you both read the article and listen to the podcast: https://www.wbez.org/curious-city/2024/05/30/what-prehistoric-creatures-roamed-chicago
