As It Happens: The Friday Edition
Part one

After standing in line for nearly 10 hours to get a new passport, our guest says he's willing to do the same for you -- but if he's going to spend the time, you're going to spend some money.
Chicago Policing
Using artificial intelligence, a researcher found that small groups of Chicago police known as "crews" are responsible for an outsized percentage of complaints against the city's police force.
Taxidermied Rat
After a tough couple of years, nothing has given our guest quite as much joy as the unlikely return of a friend who's come back with his tail behind his legs: the taxidermied rat she lost months ago.
