  • PPR #325: Glen Macnow's Story; Philly Sports Scene, Too
    Glen Macnow has been covering the Philly sports scene since he joined the Inquirer in 1986, and since the early 1990s he's been a staple on Sports Radio WIP and has authored several books, while also being something of a food and beer expert. On this week's Philly Pressbox Radio Roundtable, we get Glen's story -- "borrowing" the weekly "Tell Us Your Story" segment that Ray Didinger and Glen do every Saturday on WIP. In addition to chatting with Glen, there will be plenty of talk about the latest on the Philly sports scene courtesy Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko, including last Friday's passing of legendary Temple coach John Chaney.
