Episode Details

Al Scorch, the comedian who made viral fame reviewing Chicago Park District bathrooms, is now reading the entire city’s municipal code aloud—complete with his signature exaggerated Chicago accent—on a new weekly podcast that’s unexpectedly soothing listeners. What starts as dry legalese about parkway plants and public safety turns into a nostalgic, comforting lullaby for many, evoking grandfathers and homegrown charm. Beyond laughs, this project is a deep dive into Chicago’s civic soul, reflecting Scorch’s artistic identity and political commitments—from immigrant rights to mayoral races. He’s turning bureaucracy into art, using the podcast to build a sustainable income stream while revealing how the city’s rules mirror its history, struggles, and resilience.
