(podcasting from the studios in the OTL Bunker, somewhere in Chicago)
(broadcasting on the “proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free” radio station WLUW-FM (88.7) Chicago)
Mike Stephen extols the magic of the slow cooker, talks to a reporter who wrote about the rampant sub-par nursing home care in Illinois, chats about urban gardening with local blogger Mr. Brown Thumb, and listens to reflections on this year’s Taste of Chicago.
He doesn’t have a grill to BBQ on this weekend…but he DOES have a slow cooker. Even though it’s summer he plans on using it tomorrow!
