## Resource

Earlier this year, the co-owner of the restaurant Warlord, Trevor Fleming, was arrested and charged with sharing explicit images of a woman without consent. We discuss what some employees have called a culture of abuse and the impact it has had on the restaurant since. Host Jacoby Cochran is joined by contributors Leigh Giangreco and Al Scorch. Plus, the DMV continues its modernization effort, and we want to know which Chicagoan deserves a big-budget biopic. Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
