Dean Richards and Dave Schwan start the show talking about Tatiana Kennedy Schlossberg’s cancer diagnosis and Wicked: For Good taking over cinemas. Tony DeNardis fills in for Andy, and Neal Fischer fills in for Eli providing some Hollywood trivia on this fun episode of the show.

For today’s Far Flung Forecast, Dave takes us out to Lakeville, Connecticut.

Dr. Santina Wheat, program director of the McGaw Northwestern Family Medicine Residency at Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, joins Dean for this week’s health update. They discuss new flu strains, GLP-1 medications, the do’s and don’ts of Thanksgiving and take listener questions.

To close out the show, the cast of American Blues Theater’s 24th annual production of “It’s a Wonderful Life: Live in Chicago!” joins Dean to preview this year’s run. The ensemble shares music from the show, performs select scenes and gives listeners a look at the 1940s radio-broadcast style that has made this production a beloved Chicago holiday tradition for nearly 25 years.
