The Chicago Teachers’ Union is on strike, and classes are canceled today. But they’re not the only teachers walking off the job in Illinois. We check in with other teachers who are striking across the state. Plus, a new art exhibit in Urbana explores the invisible ways that radioactivity and nuclear waste affects all of our lives. And, Illinois produces more pumpkins than any other state. Now that fall is here, we’ll speak with two Illinois farmers about this year's pumpkin crop. 

On the 21st: We got the latest on the Wells Fargo investigation and answered questions about flu shots. We also learned about potential new solar jobs in downstate Illinois and did some political myth busting with the editor of Reboot Illinois.
