Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Mike Stephen checks in with the Irish American Heritage Center, interviews the guy responsible for dying the Chicago River green, and talks to a Chicagoan who’s helping out his favorite bartender.

OTL Rewind– Mike Butler, Head of the Green Chicago River Crew
With this being St. Patrick’s Day week, we thought it’d be cool to dig into the OTL audio archives to hear a clip from OTL #25 that includes learning about the history of turning the Chicago River green.
Chris Cieslak– Patron of Gold Star Bar on Division St.
Gold Star bartender, co-owner, and local favorite Susan Stursberg was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Chris and his fellow bar patrons are raising money to help Susan pay her medical bills. Check out this website for all the details.
