Welcome to Chicago's musical tribute to their favorite beverage, written in the style of Chicago's Peter Cetera. *NEWLY REMASTERED*

Noted writer/biz expert David Turner joins the WtC cabal to analyze 'Chicago XI,' the last LP of the Kath era and the first Chicago album to feature a song with 'Chicago' in the title. Andy plays the Happy Man. Tim G. calls in for an episode of 'Tim's Take.' Plus: Robert Lamm earns his cop reputation, eerie premonitions in Danny Seraphine's songwriting, and the latest on Winston's troubling Grady's abuse.

The core trio breaks down the record that yielded Chicago's first No. 1 hit...and almost broke up the band. The team collaborates on a polarizing new theme song and contemplates the future. Sam introduces the Happy Man segment, in which a rotating member of the team is forced to defend the band. Plus: Pank on cocaine, the last of the Grady's, Todd Rundgren's love of iPads, a very special episode of Stank Alert, and much more!

Don't call it a clip show! On this very special episode of 'Welcome to Chicago,' the incomparable Mark Richardson joins the WtC gang to rank every track on a Chicago album he actually listens to for pleasure. We workshop our possible theme song, discuss our progress personally over the course of the podcast, and rate life itself. Was it the Fourth of July or not? Who can say?

The one and only Ryley Walker joins the WtC crew to discuss Chicago's legacy in the city of Chicago, their mob connections, Harry Truman’s presidency, and much more. Also: the crew workshops a potential theme song.

You may be surprised about the WtC hosts'(the Horn Section's?)feelings about 'Chicago VII,' another genre-bending whirlwind of a double album. Is Walter Parazaider as good as Coltrane? The crew talks to writer/editor Alfred Soto about Peter Cetera's pop chops and why Chicago's arrangements remind him of Michael Bay. Sam asks a favor from the fans. Powered by Grady's Cold Brew and Bruce Cost Ginger Ale.

Writer Maggie Serota joins the WtC boys to discuss whether Chicago is Reel Big Fish meets the Eagles and explore the parallelism between the careers of Chicago and Ministry. Plus: Willie Nelson, 'Chicago in the Rockies,' Danny Seraphine's sex addiction, and a whole lot more. Thanks to Grady's Cold Brew(tm) for powering this deluxe episode!

The terrible trio returns to answer the question: What's worse, Sam's case of shingles or Chicago's #1 album 'Chicago V'? We talk about what kind of pranks we think Chicago got into while touring, whether 'Saturday in the Park' is the best or worst song ever, and take a call from Pittsburgh's preeminent Kath-head Tim Good.

The WtC crew takes the show to the Brooklyn Academy of Music to talk about Chicago's four-disc live album, which was taped over a week of show at Carnegie Hall in 1971. Corban Goble and Maddie Davies join the gang to talk acoustics, jamming, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and everything Pank. The gang also takes a call from first-wave Chicago fan Gene Caprioglio about his experiences seeing Chicago live in NYC the 1970s with Bruce Springsteen opening.

In the newest episode of WtC, listen to Andy, Sam, and Winston compare Chicago to The Beatles, Neil Young, Tori Amos, Herbie Mann, Phish, and more. The gang’s reviews of Chicago’s haphazard, coke-fueled jamfest and third double album in a row may shock some listeners!
