    Adam Amin on the Chicago Bulls, Bob Costas & Competitive Hot Dog Eating | The Pat McGann Show Ep. 57

    The voice of the Chicago Bulls says this is the best Chicago sports has felt in decades.

Adam Amin joins Pat McGann and Dwayne Kennedy on Ep. 57.  Adam talks openly about losing his partner Stacey King in June, and about what Bulls fans can expect from the new crew this season. How does a kid from Addison get from a fifth-grade talent show to the NFL on Fox? Tune in to find out.  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Adam Amin Instagram: @adamamin 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?

    The Return of the Sandwich King: Jeff Mauro, Whole Foods & The Kitchen | The Pat McGann Show Ep. 56

    Jeff Mauro, the Sandwich King himself, is back on The Pat McGann Show for the first time since Episode 8, and this time he’s got frozen pizza. The Food Network host joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy at Tiege Hanley Studios to talk about getting Mauro Provisions pizzas into 26 Whole Foods stores across Chicagoland, why his Italian beef pizza has no tomato sauce, and what it actually costs to get a product on a grocery shelf.  He also opens up about The Kitchen being canceled over Zoom after 528 episodes and 12 years, and how that pushed him to bet on himself with a new season of Worst Cooks in America and his live show, Jeff Mauro Live: From Clown to King.

    Ben Bradley on Unplanned Interviews, Bribed Mayors & Blagojevich | The Pat McGann Show Ep. 55

    Ben Bradley has spent the better part of three decades getting Chicago politicians to explain things they clearly did not want to explain. How do you get a mayor's office to admit a deal is coming? You file the paperwork, and then you show up.  The WGN investigative reporter and Emmy winner joins Pat and Dwayne Kennedy to talk about learning the trade from Chicago TV legend Chuck Goudie and building a career out of Freedom of Information Act requests. They get into taxpayer-funded credit cards, a red light camera bribery scheme that took down a string of suburban officials, and why some Chicago high schools have quietly dwindled to a few dozen students.  This is an episode filled to the brim with big laughs and crazy stories you won’t want to miss.  🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.  🔗 Follow The Pat McGann Show: Instagram: @thepatmcgannshow TikTok: @thepatmcgannshow Apple Podcasts & Spotify: The Pat McGann Show 🎤 Co-Host: Dwayne Kennedy Instagram: @dwaynetkennedy 🎤 Guest: Ben Bradley Instagram: @benbradleytv 💚 Sponsored by Tiege Hanley — Get 40% off your first box + free gift → tiege.com/pat Interested in sponsoring The Pat McGann Show?
