Hour 1

:00 - Program opening, sponsors, and "the other Michael, Michael Feldman...."

:01 - All The News that Wasn't from Chicago

:11 - Guest Interview--Chicago Crime Reporter John Drummond

:27 - The Whad'Ya Know? Trio of John, Jeff and Clyde get jazzy with this tune.

:32 - A magic pot awaits Michael in the audience where gets some China Secret Sauce. Then gets things pumping with a pump salesman who can move a couple of gallons a minute. Why don't people from Wisconsin like folks from Illinois? Maybe if the folks from Illinois would slow down their foreign cars and hang up the cell phones when they cruise across our free roads, Wisconsinites would have a different attitude.

:39 - The Whad'Ya Know? Quiz with John the Options Trader at the Chicago Exchange and Dave who thinks the Bulls will win in Seattle. Dogs barking, Jerry Springer, and Michael Jordan's earnings in rupias, are the answers, but what are the questions? Play along and see if you win the quiz.

:54 - Legendary Chicago Bluesman Lonnie Brooks and his band finish out the hour with some great tunes.

Hour 2

:00 - Lonnie Brooks starts us off with an introduction of the band. Everybody say "howdy doody!" Then Lonnie slows it down for another great number.

:09 - Guest Interview with Chef Rick Bayless

:19 - The Whad'Ya Know? Band gets funky with another tune.

:23 - It's a really good looking audience today, and in it Michael meets Jennifer who didn't hang around downtown last night since the police looked a little intimidating. The guacamole from Rick has made the rounds, and made it to the eighth row. Forget the guacamole, Al wants pizza. But, he usually gets Little Caesars, not a Chicago institution. And even a word from Michael's "former wife."

:32 - The Whad'Ya Know? Quiz with Charley the grad student and Linda who knows what Mayor Daley instructs the police to do with disorder. If the fat you eats makes you faster, who objects to being called a person, and which is one of the seven engineering wonders of the world, are all questions you can answer, you could be a quiz winner, too!

:50 - A few more tunes from Lonnie Brooks to finish out Michael's trip to Chicago.

:58 - Michael thanks Chicago and we're outta here until next week.....
