Chicago State of Mind is a conversation-driven podcast from the CNW Network that slows the city down long enough to really listen. Hosted by Chicago News Weekly, each episode sits with the people shaping Chicago’s politics, culture, neighborhoods, and narrative—digging into not just what they do, but why they do it. From elected leaders and organizers to artists, parents, workers, and everyday neighbors, guests open up about family, faith, resilience, and the city that made them who they are. With honest dialogue, deep reflection, and unmistakable Chicago energy, Chicago State of Mind reveals the values, stories, and inner motivations behind the headlines—and shows how this city’s grit, joy, and hope are lived out every day.
