Mike Stephen talks with:

• Midwest High Speed Rail Association executive director Richard Harnish about a potential express train to O’Hare and beyond;

• Plastic Crimewave (aka Steve Krakow) about The Wolfgang saxophonist Eddie Shaw for this week’s “Winter Blues” edition of The Secret History of Chicago Music; and

• Hampshire High School industrial technology teacher Mike Jakubowski about preparing students for real world.

Meanwhile, we try to figure out if we still have a MySpace page while also discussing Pizza Pizzazz, frozen pizzas, and questionable Rogers Park establishments.

This week’s local music is provided by the Poison Boys.

OTL host Mike Stephen III encourages his son Mike Stephen IV to consider a career in industrial technology with a toy hammer.
