Things I Learned From Volunteering at Naper Settlement’s “All Hallows Eve”

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Did I tell you all about how I ended up volunteering at this year’s “All Hallows Eve” event at the Naper Settlement?

Steve Dahl Moving To Mornings On A Completely Robotic Radio Station

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I feel bad for Steve Dahl.  

I don’t know the guy, but have listened to him for years.  I’ve always had a love for radio and I grew up having to sneak listening to Steve and Garry back in the day since my mom thought they were a little too risque for a 14 year old.  I just thought [...]
