Open phone lines; previews of big weekend events from Pridefest to the Old Capitol Art Fair; and, of course, Butthead of the Week.  You couldn't ask for anything more from a local morning radio show.

Today's Show: Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Coming up this morning, an update on the Kidzeum project in downtown Springfield and their hopes for TIF district funds to help with the effort.  We'll also have the details on a leadership "webinar" where some big names can help you develop your leadership skills.  We'll talk about some old favorites, from police department file shredding to the search for a new school superintendent.  And there's a good chance that we will discuss Angelina Jolie's breasts.

Callerpalooza this morning!  No guests, just your phone calls on issues ranging from a possible criminal investigation of the police department file controversy, to Mayor Mike Houston opening the door to a possible re-election bid, to the hilariously whiny tiff going on now in professional golf.

It's FRIDAY!!!  (OK, honestly, when you've lived through as many Fridays as I have, it's not really such a big deal that it requires all caps.  But what the hell?)  We'll be No Holds Barred this morning, and of course, Butthead of the Week gets underway at 8.

This morning we talk to the Mayor.  Mike Houston is in studio with us after 7am; you won't want to miss this conversation.

Today's Show: Wednesday, May 8, 2013

Although we are not technically downtown today in the physical sense (because of technical issues in our downtown studio), we are there in spirit today.  And we will talk more about the latest wrinkles in the police files controversy.

 

Also, your chance to play political consultant and advise Illinois Republicans on how to overcome their family squabbles and start winning again.

Ald. Frank Edwards joins us live this morning to talk about a new ordinance introduced in response to the police department document shredding controversy.  And we'll discuss some of the unanswered questions left behind at the conclusion of the investigation into the Manchester killings.

We're No Holds Barred today -- we'll talk about whatever you want to talk about, but I suspect a lot of the conversation will focus on the destroyed police internal affairs files.  In addition, we'll take your votes for Butthead of the Week.

Now that we've heard the detailed explanation from the Chief of Police about why dozens of internal affairs files were destroyed, I think we can all agree: this still doesn't make any sense whatsoever.  We'll talk about it.  And still trailing by just one vote, school board candidate Katharine Eastvold joins us live this morning to talk about what, if any, next steps she will take.
