  • Windy City Nihilism - Episode 15 - Talkback
    Dec 15 2025

    Windy City Nihilism is an Urban Horror Podcast Series. We do not shy away from touchy topics and the politics of horror, mental health, games, and life as a person of targeted identities.

    It is summer in Chicago and once again protests have taken over the city as the people demand more care and community and less state violence and austerity cuts to public programs. Romero is an experienced activist who is struggling with the constant cycles of organizing, marching and fighting with little noticeable change. This is a talkback episode discussing through episode 14 so there will be spoilers if you have not listened to episodes 1 -14.

Topics include but are not limited to : Suicide, Death, Depression, Anti-Blackness, Racism, Sexism, Transphobia, Police, State Sanctioned Murder, Complicated Relationships, Sex and Sexuality, Hopelessness, Financial Anxiety, and Strong language.
