I really like the way the past is used in this radio piece on a start-up business selling used IT equipment on the 12th floor of Chicago’s Mercantile Mart.

Heath Carter of Valparaiso University does a nice job as one of the guest historians. I love the sounds of him talking as the city buzzes and Chicago River flows behind him.
