MMac Hauck-Hegmann
Mac Hauck-Hegmann listens for the off-mic hum of Chicago—the clatter of a grafted el, the gossip of a bodega fan—and transcribes it into dispatches that feel like a friend leaning in to share a secret. His notebook is a map of half-finished sentences, each one a thread he pulls until the whole tangled, glorious mess of the city comes undone at the seams.
