This week’s Mincing Rascals was recorded in front of a live audience at Winter’s Jazz Club on Wednesday, June, 12, 2024. The Mincing Rascals for this special live show are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, Brandon Pope, host of ‘On the Block‘ on WCIU, Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader, and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, and political pundit Marj Halperin! The Rascals take on a number of topics including if former Alderman Ed Burke should serve prison time, why some alderman want an 8 pm curfew for downtown Chicago, how everyone feels about the Donald Trump and Hunter Biden verdicts, the Supreme Court audio and the journalistic ethics of secretly recording interviews, if Caitlin Clark deserves to be on the Olympic team, and why some are hoping the White Sox break the record for futility. Did you miss out on attending the event? That’s okay, because we have all the photos here!
