About this episode
Summertime Chi would be incomplete without spending some time on Lake Michigan. But its easy to underestimate the dangers of the lake, even if you’re a strong swimmer. Host Jacoby Cochran sits down with Dave Benjamin, co-founder of the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project which tracks drownings and promotes water safety. Dave shares his key tips for enjoying the Lake safely this summer. Heading out on a boat this summer? Listen to the episode we did last year with the Chicago Harbor Safety Committee. Some news: While some midwestern cities may catch a rare glimpse of the northern lights tomorrow, Chicago’s light pollution will likely keep us out of the action. But we’ve got some tips for finding dark skies nearby . Want some more City Cast Chicago news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Chicago newsletter .
