Into The Gap

This week we look at what COVID-19 has cost us, along with what are some of the lessons learned, opportunities for change, and new perspectives that have been offered to us. In addition, we open the phone lines for call-ins.

This week we continue the conversation about coronavirus, looking at it more from the impact of us personally, how the isolation is impacting us, and the impact of very little real leadership and the instability that takes place.

On this week’s show we took callers from across the planet. We had a caller from the U.K. and one from PA. We were discussing the impact of COVID-19 and what we see and what that means. What we realized is we are all far more similar than different.

This week we have our Berwyn special!

Wednesday, February 19th we recorded a pair of episodes at The Wire in Berwyn, where we celebrated all things Berwyn with Mayor Robert J. Lovero, and his wife, Gail. Hosted and moderated by Mike Shereck, they talk about living and growing up in Berwyn, the current state of the city, and what the mayor envisions as he embarks on a fourth-term re-election campaign. And Mike not only asks questions people had submitted to the show beforehand, he opens up the floor for questions from the audience!

Mike Shereck and Jason Hill, the hosting duo that brings you "Into The Gap" -- Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Central on WCGO Radio -- sit down with Andy Miles to talk about the show, how it came to be, and a wide range of issues that inform the philosophy of the thought-provoking, sometimes controversial show.

Mike, a Berwyn-bred tradesman turned professional certified coach, and Jason, a Jamaican-born philosophy professor at DePaul, also talk a bit about themselves, and each other, revealing how their "odd couple" backgrounds achieve a unique intellectual and personal chemistry.

Says Jason: "I think it would be a good match because he’s got this practical can-do know-how about how the world operates. I know how the world operates in terms of the ideas that people live by. Mike has a full grasp of the practicality of the universe, and he can teach me something, which is why I don’t like to deal with academics, because I’d much rather deal with a businessman or a construction worker or a janitor or a lawyer: Someone who can teach me something about the world. And I think that we’ll bounce off each other really, really well."

The interview was recorded February 1, 2020 at WCGO. Read the transcript here: www.wcgoradio.com/into-the-gap-interview
