Mike Stephen talks with:

• Cubicle Ninjas CEO Josh Farkas transporting yourself to exotic locations without leaving your home via the brand new Guided Meditation VR app;

• Center for Tax and Budget Accountability executive director Ralph Martire about funding Chicago Public Schools via taxes on services; and

• local musician Bassel Almadani about his smooth funky tunes and his experiences as a Syrian-American artist.

Meanwhile, we discuss what it’s like running into a genuine “Chi-lebrity.”

This week’s local music is provided by the aforementioned Bassel & The Supernaturals.
