One of my favorite podcasts. The Dillinger gang regularly hit the highway, driving from Chicago to Saint Paul, in one night. I wondered. Is that true? Could it be done? So I set out with a map to head off to Chicago from Western Wisconsin, using the old national highway system (pre expressways), and I really enjoyed myself. That weekend was the 75th anniversary of the killing of John Dillinger in Chicago. Come with me as I travel the rural routes of Wisconsin, just like the desperadoes of old, in the middle of the night, from Saint Paul to Chicago.
