I have listened to S and J so far back I can’t remember. Look forward to Sat nights to catch up with their popular topics: music, tech, medical topics, and just fun guests. I always learn something and laugh. Thanks for keeping my sleepless night enjoyable.
They’re back

Disappointed with change

More of them at night! They fit traditional Chicago radio. Helpful information in a friendly format, fully entertaining, delightful radio you want to listen to and enjoy. WGN has devolved into too much news and political talk. We need this, not that!
