Regionally Speaking, Tuesday, July 23, 2019

Today:  Documentary filmmakers Pat Wisniewski and Tom Desch are in the Lakeshore Public Radio studio  to talk about their films --  ones that've aired on Lakeshore PBS and upcoming projects -- and Tom talks about a years-long project on the controversial proposed south suburban Chicago airport -- a film titled "The Field: A Fight or Flight Story."  It comes up at a special screening soon at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago. We bring you another conversation from the Welcome Projet at Valparaiso University, and we revisit our conversation with a Ball State University professor about "the Sweetheart Index" which looks at corporations and the link between contracts and political donations.
