WGN interview about ashes on the streets
This was a surreal and pretty cool experience. We were over at NBC Plaza at 6:30 a.m. ready to do ashes on the streets because we were told we may get on their morning show, but that flopped so we started making our way over to Daley Plaza. The Tribune Tower is close by and WGN Radio’s morning program is hosted by radio personality Jonathon Brandmeier, who’s somewhat of a legend in Chicago broadcasting. I had done an interview with the WGN news person the day before and as we were walking I heard Brandmeier reading off the places where we were going to be that day. So we did a quick detour and I stood in front of their studio, which has windows so we can see the radio people and vice versa. He saw me and you can hear what happens next. When you click on this, I come in at about the 5:00 minute mark and it lasts for a little more than six minutes.
