Created by J. Sebastian Fabál and Jessica Fabál

Is there anything more Chicago than turning a 100-year-old elevated train line into a park that connects several different diverse neighborhoods? Well… maybe the Chicago flag! Learn about both as you walk along on a Daddy/Daughter adventure with our narrator and her father as they learn about Chicago’s past and present through all the wonders of its best known urban trail: The 606!

About CCT Walkie Talkies

Walkie Talkies are fun, totally original audio experiences families can listen to together while exploring different Chicago neighborhoods. Each episode was commissioned by Chicago Children’s Theatre and created by a different local theater artist, resulting in a fun and educational new audio series that children and families can enjoy together, outdoors and safely, even over the winter months, while learning more about the beautiful city they live in.

So lace up your sneakers, pop in your ear buds, and take a guided walk through some of Chicago’s most distinctive neighborhoods. Each episode is under one hour and comes with an interactive map to guide families and classroom field trips on each bite-sized journey, plus photos of top tour highlights, vocabulary keys, recommended reading and song lists, and other fun, family activities.
