    The Interview Show With Mark Bazer Ep. 5: Sarah Spain

    Sarah Spain is one of my favorites, she is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning sports journalist; is the host of the first ever daily women's sports podcast, iHeart's “Good Game with Sarah Spain;” and has been a jack of all trades in her more than two decades in the sports business. But here we mostly talk about Sarah's first book, “Runs In The Family,” which tells the truly unbelievable story of Deland McCullough. He’s the running backs coach for the Raiders, but the book tells the incredible story of how Deland got to where he is today.  More on The Interview Show at: www.theinterviewshowchicago.com.

    The Interview Show With Mark Bazer Ep. 2: CharlieTrotter

    We thought we'd revisit this interview with the late chef Charlie Trotter from ... 2010. June 4, 2010, to be exact. We had a great time that night at The Hideout. Chef Trotter has very much been on people's minds of late — thanks to the "Love, Charlie" documentary (of which video clips from this interview appear!) that's now on Netlfix (https://www.netflix.com/title/81633762) as well as word that Trotter's son is resurrecting his namesake restaurant. Charlie Trotter changed fine dining in Chicago (and everywhere, really), and it was a thrill to have him on the show.
