What's Goin' Down In Downtown J-Town is recorded live at Third City Sound in Downtown Joliet on the third floor above Chicago Street Pub. We have been so excited about all of the new businesses and festivals that have been taking place here. Take a listen if ya need some proof to come check some places out.

In this episode, Slammers team manager Jeff Isom sat down with us for a quick look into some of the things that gave him the experience any good coach needs to be a true leader. I'm sure that's why he was chosen as The Frontier League's Manager of the Year!

What's Goin' Down In Downtown J-Town is recorded live at Third City Sound in Downtown Joliet on the third floor above Chicago Street Pub. Mike and Kathy Trizna have done quite a bit for our community of fine arts. That in turn brought new life to Joliet. We're starting to see new businesses open up run by people who are equally as enthusiastic as they are. We were honored that they gave us an hour of their time on a Saturday afternoon to let us interview them. There would be no WGDIDJT if not for their efforts to stay in business during a decade where the world thought the worst about Joliet. Our hope is to show you that things are changing. Be a part of it all with us.

What's Goin Down In Downtown is recorded live at Third City Sound in Downtown Joliet on the third floor above Chicago Street Pub, the place where our community first started to take shape. Our show is here to inform you of what you've been missing out on for the last ten years. But, in that time everyone has had a chance to hone their crafts in hopes that it'll enhance your lives in one way or another.

   In episode 44, Phil Johnson of AudioPhil's Records was able to come and give an interview while his wife Tiffany held down the fort at the shop. David Francis was unable to join us for this episode so Bill Aldridge, owner of Third City Sound, took the helm. While preparing for a CD release show that is taking(took) place later in the evening, Mike Shadle was our guest-guest. Mike plays bass a band called for All the Dim Stars. If you're reading this on 8-18-18 then follow the shows link below. If not, hunt down their album which is by now surely available at AudioPhil's Records. The record store link is also posted below.

We talked about all kinds of different stuff. We all share the same humor that made for a pretty entertaining show. Check it....

What's Goin' Down In Downtown J-Town is recorded live at Third City Sound on the third floor above Chicago Street Pub. I tend to be a nostalgic person, and hitting my forties didn't lessen that any. I asked David Francis to help me document all of the great musicians and songwriters that we hang with at The Pub. I like to call it the Chi'er. It think it makes most of our friends gag HAHA! After starting the social media pages to have a makeshift website in order to have the podcast more easily available, we started posting about all of the city's concerts. That snowballed into posting about any event happening in and around Joliet. That's why that little line in the theme song exists. Downwtown J-Town 'n' all around!! So that's was when we started interviewing more than just musicians. That's why there's that monologue in the intro.

In Episode 43, we interview a longtime friend of mine. He was introduced to Sue Regis at the first Art Movement meeting pre-Inc. He's now displayed his art three times in Downtown Joliet, and that definitely won't be the last. Tony Uzzardo is going to be creating art from the findings within the walls of The Old Joliet Prison. Hear all about it!

David Francis recorded The Steel City Stories while running sound for this show at Downtown Joliet's Elder Brewing Company. We had such a geat time listening to these fine songwriters give us a few words before each song. Jross Green, Brian Motyll, John Condron, Allison Moroni Flood, Colleen Wild, and Alex Hoffer took turns throughout four rounds songs. Dave cut em up into four episodes. We hope get as much of the feels from these performances as we all did. Enjoy.
