John Howell is joined by Doug Cummings, Personal Security Consultant, author, and former Deputy Sheriff. More than once every news cycle, we see another mass shooting, most recently at a Walmart in Virginia. Cummings shares ideas on how you can protect yourself and stay safe during one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.

John Howell is joined by Ted McClelland, Author and Contributor at Chicago Magazine. Together, they discuss the long list of Chicago Mayoral candidates: their qualifications, their strengths, and their ranking amongst the pack.

John Howell is joined by Gregory Pratt, Chicago Tribune Reporter covering Mayor Lori Lightfoot and City Hall. Lightfoot’s allies are raising money outside city ethics rules; it’s not  illegal, but they’ve skirted several regulations. Pratt sheds light on this, as well as Alderman Ray Lopez taking his hat out of the mayoral race.

You heard John mention it after his show at the Billy Goat…the Goat has new buns! John Howell is joined by Nick Kindelsperger, Chicago Tribune food critic, to chat about the evolution of the cheezborger and the quality of these new buns in question.
