Ever wondered how champagne gets those magical bubbles? Or why bubble wrap is so satisfyingly poppable? Join the Noras for a fizzy, fun exploration of everything bubbly while we catch up after the holiday weekend!
They start with Fourth of July stories - from neighborhood fireworks traditions to the simple joy of writing your name with sparklers. Then prepare yourself for the horror story that might forever change your online shopping habits as we reveal what one mother found inside a baby rattle ordered from Shein (hint: it involves fingernails and bugs!).
Their discussion bubbles over with fascinating facts about everyday things you never knew you needed to know. Did you realize scientists recommend women drink 11.5 cups (92 ounces) of water daily? Or that bubble wrap was created entirely by accident when two inventors were trying to make textured wallpaper in 1957? They dive deep into the meticulous process behind champagne production, revealing why some bottles cost $6.99 and others command premium prices (it's all about that second fermentation!).
With plenty of laughs along the way, Nora and Nora tackle everything from the proper technique for buttering toast (the internet is deeply divided) to their mutual horror at the concept of family nudist ranches. They even explore why we rarely venture outside our comfortable "bubbles" of familiar places.
Whether you're sipping champagne or blowing soap bubbles this summer, this episode will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the effervescent wonders that bring joy to everyday life. Listen now and let the Noras add some sparkle to your day!
Right on the corner, right on the price! Head down to 93rd & Cicero & tell them the Noras sent you!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
