"The Job Stalker" on ChicagoNow Radio!
2009-12-13 02:47:00 Well, as I mentioned yesterday, I was off for a radio interview with Bill Leff on the ChicagoNow show (which, naturally enough, features bloggers from this site) on WGN-AM this morning. Just in case you weren't glued to your radio for this momentous event, I figured I'd pop in with a rare weekend posting.Fortunately, the team down at the ChicagoNow show spins out these half-hour segments as podcasts pretty much as soon as they get off the air, so even if you missed it, you didn't lose out on your chance to hear me (and the other seven bloggers that ran through the studios at the Tribune Tower today) chit-chat about blogging.Here's the direct link to the podcast page:12/12/09 --...

Links I mentioned on Chicago Now Radio
2009-12-05 20:20:00 Woot.com, the deal-a-day site that's my favorite holiday shopping resource this year. Why look, today they have some pretty nice headphones for $12.99. See what I mean? Amazon Prime one-month free trial. This will get you free 2-day shipping through the holidays. You may also be able to get a 3-month trial by putting a bunch of expensive textbooks in your cart and going through part of the checkout process without actually buying them. Not sure if that one is still active, but that's how I got my 3-month trial.

Blackhawks win shootout; DirecTV viewers left in radio daze
2009-12-02 06:28:00 The more things change, the more they stay they same. As I did for years before, my radio was tuned to the Blackhawks game on Tuesday night. Yes, I'm a DirecTV subscriber. No, Comcast and DirecTV have not settled their ongoing dispute. Therefore, I went old school by listening to John Wiedeman and Troy Murray broadcast the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 shootout victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. I will offer a full disclosure and confess my attempts to watch the contest via the internet. However, my successes were limited to the last few minutes of the third period and partial snipets of overtime and the shootout. The connection was weak at best, though I did gain flashbacks to my...

2009-12-01 00:18:00 Rihanna performs at the 37th Annual American Music Awards on Sunday, Nov. 22, 2009, in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles) Around 4 p.m. today, I was switching between CDs and Power 92 happened to be the last station I was listening to in between. The radio personality was discussing an interview question with pop star Rihanna about who she was "getting it in" with since Chris Brown. Rihanna made a comment about not being interested in love over her career and instead choosing to pleasure herself. Now if that response wasn't wild enough, the Power 92 radio personality asked women to call in to find out if they pleasure themselves too. I just shook my head, changed the station and popped...

Geek To Me on ChicagoNow Radio!
2009-11-28 21:10:00 ShareWow! After getting myself out of bed early this AM and driving into the city, parking my car and taking a brisk walk over to the Tribune tower, I was afraid that I'd be too fuzzy-minded to pull off my appearance on ChicagoNow Radio.Also knowing that I was going to be a guest along with fashion blogger Barbara Glass had me a bit worried.

When John heard that the city of Chicago spends $100,000 on setting up a Christmas tree in Daley Plaza every year, his eyebrows raised like most of his audience. Who could blame the city for thinking of passing on this year? John decided to take matters into his own hands and set up his very own tree. He asked his audience to chip in. A man quickly called and donated the tree itself. Next came the lights from Ace Hardware, and the ornaments from all of his listeners. Today the tree was officially...

Despite finding my thoughts on dogs morally repugnant and illogical, he did offer to buy me a beer if I was on the show (because I said, "Ok, but you owe me a beer.") This is because I wrote a column in RedEye making the very...

Former radio rascal Dahl sues over former radio ratings method
2009-10-15 07:40:00 Former radio rascal Steve Dahl has sued a national radio ratings service for wrecking his career.In the lawsuit, Dahl v. Arbitron, Dahl claims the Arbitron ratings service "lulled the plaintiff (Dahl) into a false sense of security that he was doing a good show for years" with a faulty method of measuring ratings.The method required radio listeners to write in diaries the shows they listened to. The method was scrapped recently in favor of what the radio industry believes are more accurate "people meters" that listeners actually wear.Under the old diary system Dahl was consistently at or near number one in his target demographic (25-to-54-year-old men who thought "there but for the grace of God go I" when they listened...
