Radio Free Bridgeport

Holy ship! Another packed show this week. Wot's Jamie doing to poor Johnnie? FIRST: We chat with Bobby Martinez Olson, candidate in the 2nd for the IL House. Bobby chats Bridgeport, his goals if elected and his hopes for the next legislative session. THEN: Froy Jimenez is in, talking about his campaign in the 1st for the Senate. He discusses what he sees as waste and corruption in Springfield. THEN Jared Rabin's band puts down a smooth set of blues and Americana in a John Daley Session. THEN we chat with C2E2 event honcho Kristina Rogers about Chicago's best kept secret involving comic books! THEN Jared comes in and we chat about the tunes. WHEW! No wonder Johnnie needed the fortitude of a fresh bagel!

Hey hey kids! A truly special Radio Free this week: with "Little" John Daley out of town, John Daley senior steps in to host! We chat about his role in Cook County (and what Cook County actually does); his legacy as a member of the Daley family; his thoughts on the Presidential race -- and gardening in Bridgeport. No joke, this is a great interview! THEN Cloudtone are in Studio A for another John Daley session. It's dreamy, it's gauzy, it's live.

Holy ship! It's maybe possibly Radio Free's best show of the year. So far. First we chat with political candidate (and former sports broadcaster) Rush Darwish about the 3rd District and his race against Dan Lipinski and Marie Newman. THEN Andie Zaragoza pops in with some of her speciality tacos and we talk about how delicious they are. THEN Thompson Springs plays a great John Daley Session. Ari Shellist is behind the faders. Finally, the boys from Springs pop in for a little chat about their new LP, drums, and ghost towns. It's a great show!

Holy ship! We're back with another great week of news and views: --We chat with Hack/Slash creator Tim Seeley. Did we mention he also writes Da Batman? And that comic called Momney Shot? He does! A great chat with a true Chicago comix legend. --Friko is in Studio A to play an intimate, freaked-out acoustic set. Ari's on the faders! It's a good show everyone!

On this week's Radio Free: We chat to Tim Bratley (Special Events and Board Relations Manager at the Field Museum) and Angela Lorenzo (Special Advisor to the Consul General of France in Chicago) about the Night of Ideas at the Field Museum this coming Thursday. It's fun, it's free. it's French. Then we chat with Li Ming and Lori Waxman about "Discombulation," a new exhibit in Co-Prosperity's window frontage. We discuss artist visas, Li's time with the Power Rangers and much much more!
