Caroline then hops in to discuss the Chicago Strangler, an alleged serial killer who has, since 1999, been murdering women on the city's Southwest side with reckless abandon and little to no media coverage. With asides ranging from Twitter's swift downfall to the Cheesecake Factory's wide-ranging menu and giant spider theme parties, if this episode doesn't make you book a ticket to Chi-city, nothing will!
