Johnnie Putman and Steve King are packed to the brim with a wide range of delicious audibles to kick off February! Between all of the computer, automotive and restaurant talk, we look at how everything is being affected as a new presidential power takes root into all parts of the nation.

We start off with Jennifer Morand, President of the Chicago Automobile Trade Association and General Manager of the Chicago Auto Show, for a look ahead at Chicago’s greatest automotive event. With nearly 1,000 vehicles and tons of manufacturers present, there’s sure to be something for everyone, car enthusiast or otherwise. We also get her take on how incoming tariffs may affect manufacturers.

Next up is Monica Eng, Axios reporter and co-author of Made in Chicago: Stories Behind 30 Great Hometown Bites with some defining dishes across iconic locations outside of Chicago and the outlook on the restaurant industry as ICE raids descend upon Chicagoans.

We then have TV historian, author and Beatles expert/superfan Wally Podrazik with his take on how the song “Now and Then” is brought to the masses through the use of artificial intelligence decades after its conception and his take on who should be the proper recipient of a Grammy award for the song. We also get a tease at his latest book set to arrive very soon.
