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. We’re not saying… we’re just saying… ya know! + If you’re so inclined, head on over to the Reader‘s site and vote by May 19th! In fact, we’re going to head over there right now and put in a good word for ourselves. And we’ll probably do the same tomorrow and the day after. Vote early and often, and don’t forget to finalize your vote — click on the “final step” link when you’re finished!! Love, Andy & Mike Outside the Loop RADIO (the hardest working podcast in Chicago)
