Chicago Sports Network

The Charter Podcast is where you can find everything you need to know about the Chicago Bears. Our team of Ruthie Polinsky, Alex Shapiro, Clay Harbor, and Kevin Lapka bring you postgame reaction, interviews, and game previews. We’ll provide you with latest and have some fun along the way. New episodes available every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the season.

Under Center: Chicago Bears Podcast

The Charter kicks off the season as Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor break down Week 1 for the Chicago Bears. They start with Thursday night’s opener before diving into the Bears-Vikings matchup: how Chicago’s offensive line holds up against a disruptive front, why cadence can be a weapon against disguised looks, and what the defense must do to slow down Minnesota’s run game and a first-time starter at quarterback. They also hit on a few key injury concerns and share why manageable downs will decide the night.

Football Returns! Bears-Vikings Season Opener Preview

Ruthie Polinsky, Clay Harbor, and David Haugh are joined by ESPN’s Courtney Cronin on The Big Pro Football Show to react to a stunner in the NFC North: the Green Bay Packers have acquired Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. After breaking down what this blockbuster means for the Bears and the division, we turn to our planned episode with Alex Shapiro, Ruthie, and Clay to tackle the Bears’ biggest questions — health concerns on defense, the uncertainty at left tackle, and which players they expect to emerge as leaders in the 2025 campaign.

Then Ruthie shares her exclusive sit-down with the Bears QB2 after his big weekend that included a contract extension and throwing the first pitch at the White Sox game. Plus, roster cutdowns are looming: which fringe players helped their case, and how will injuries shake up the 53-man roster?

From Caleb Williams’ sharp opening drive to Tyson Bagent’s extended run, the quarterbacks gave Chicago plenty to be excited about. The crew also dives into the left tackle battle, the running back room, Austin Booker’s emergence on defense, and whether the Bears should kick the tires on outside help before the season opener in Minnesota.

What We Really Learned From The Bears’ Performance

The crew breaks down Theo Benedet’s surprise reps with the ones, what it means for Braxton Jones and Ozzie Trapilo, and whether a rotation at tackle could linger into the season. Plus, they preview key storylines for joint practices — from testing the run defense against James Cook to how the secondary will hold up against Josh Allen — and share what they want to see from the starters in their first in-game action.
