Episode 404 - "Beyond Chicago From The Air" with Geoffrey Baer and Eddie Griffin

In November of 2020, Chicago’s WTTW debuted a new special called Chicago From The Air, narrated by Geoffrey Baer and produced by Eddie Griffin. Utilizing drones and the skills of local pilots, Chicago From The Air gave viewers a unique look at places many of us know but have never seen from above.

Geoffrey Baer and Eddie Griffin are back with Beyond Chicago From The Air, which debuts on Wednesday, December 1st, at 7:30pm, and I was fortunate enough to discuss it with them.
