Vocalo.org host Dan Weissmann recently contacted us after he listened to a couple of our shows, and after chatting for a bit we talked him into letting us hang out with him on the WBEW 89.5-FM frequency and on their web stream! We set up a playlist (featuring acclaimed Outside the Loop RADIO segments available at Vocalo.org as well as some great stuff submitted for their station), we drew up and signed the contracts, and now we’re drinking tea and are not verbally communicating until we settle in from 3-5p CT on Tuesday 11/6. We even put together a clip that we’re debuting on their airwaves! We’re really excited to contribute to this cool radio experiment from Chicago Public Radio. It’s going to be a blast — so please tune in!!
