The summer of music continues!

Steve and Johnnie

Steve King and Johnnie are back in town just in time to bring you some comfort after the crazy week in the world. We are talking all things tech, entertainment and some history with a musical cherry on top!

Alice Selke is a very important part of Illinois history being the very first dispatcher for Hoffman Estates Fire Department. She joins us following her 106th birthday and reveals the secrets to staying fabulous at her age!

Ron Romero, the Founder of the Illinois Rock and Roll Museum on Route 66, gives us a little status update following the recent tornado outbreak, one of which struck in Joliet where the Museum is located. After we breathe a sigh of relief, we jump in to the good stuff that all kinds of music fans can anticipate at the 2024 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, including, but not limited to Suzy Bogguss, Richard Marx and The Chi-Lites.

Our favorite Milwaukee entertainment reporter Gino Salomone stops by for more tomfoolery, but also joins the class in reminiscing on the loss of Chicago’s own Bob Newhart and the impact he had in the world of comedy and entertainment.

Chicago musician Steve Dawson is our special guest in studio to present us with a live performance for your listening pleasure, with visuals to come later. We learn a bit more about his new album ‘Ghosts’, his work with Dolly Varden and with his wife, Diane Christiansen and what the future holds.

Following the recent tech outages across the globe, your tech guru Patrick Crispen jumps in to give us the scoop on what happened, who was affected and who Crowdstrike is. We also discuss the 110 million AT&T customer logs that were breached. Then, we have a lengthy discussion about the X (formerly Twitter) AI chatbot known as Grok and how misinformation prevalent on X is leading users to seek other platforms for more accurate news and research information.
