So in the tradition of newspapers and magazines across the country, the Chicago Reader is putting together its first-ever “Best of Chicago” issue. We were browsing through many cool categories such as Arts & Architecture, Bars & Clubs, Restaurants, Music, Movies, etc… and happened upon the Media link… Hey — there’s a space to type in a nomination for the best Chicago podcast. That got us thinking. The OTL Radio broadcasts you’ve come to love started out as a podcast, and we continue to podcast our show every week.
