11 Central Ave the radio comic strip

11 Central Ave is a weekly four minute radio comic strip.

...It's what Steve Inskeep and Renee Montagne might be hotly debating as they walk into the studio -- just before they get on mic.

That's what you'll hear on "11 Central Ave," Chicago Public Radio's new comic strip, airing on WBEZ, WBUR, and WUSM.

This three-and-a-half minute radiostrip plays out in the kitchen of 11 Central Ave, the home of an extended family where a hodgepodge of other characters regularly drops in. As they rush around in the morning drinking coffee, reading the paper, looking for their shoes, they're talking about everything from the most compelling topics of our time (the Supreme Court nominee and his views on abortion) to the most ridiculous (mommy blogging), and everything in between -- covenant marriage, teens hooking up, the next pandemic, the fog of internet dating.

It's a wry look at America's zeitgeist in three-and-a-half minutes. Come hear something new "11 Central Ave" - the radio comic strip.
