Thank you for joining us for **Still Listening**, CAC's first ever listening event. We had a blast and hope you did too!

We also want to thank the [Lincoln Lodge](https://www.thelincolnlodge.com/?ref=chiaudiocollective.com), Chicago's only non-profit comedy venue, and [Sonal Aggarwal](https://www.instagram.com/sonalmedia/?ref=chiaudiocollective.com), our wonderful emcee for the night. Make sure to follow Sonal and go see her again soon... *maybe at the Lincoln Lodge??*

If you have a moment, we'd love some **anonymous feedback** as we plan for future events.

[Share your feedback](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerBXPWe2dl0u3mQ5qLC119Bzab2e5nRQbO5h95fsWHShMWuQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor&ref=chiaudiocollective.com)

We had a great time sharing so many wonderful pieces with you last night. Below you'll find a complete list of the stories in the show, some of which can be found publicly online.

We do want to specifically highlight the piece ***La Patria*** by Michaela Marchi. Due to a technical error, this story was cut short in playback last night. We encourage you to listen to the full version, available here:
