The Byline: Is Chicago the ‘Rattiest’ City in the World?

Is Chicago the rattiest city in the world? What’s the right way to get rid of rats? How do you appraise the validity of data-based claims like which city is the rattiest?

On this week’s episode of The Byline, a joint project between The Phoenix and WLUW 88.7, host and engagement editor Audrey Hogan is joined by writers Eleni Dutta and Zoe Smith to discuss these questions and more.

Listen to The Byline — the story behind the stories you read — every Friday wherever you get your podcasts.
