  • Wendy Snyder on Sunday Morning | August 9

    Wendy Snyder, Dave Schwan, Charlie Roumeliotis and Eli Berk start the show recapping Wendy’s wild dream and how it led her to ask how everyone first started listening to music.

    For today’s Far Flung Forecast, Dave takes us out to Oakville, Alabama.

    Dr. Michael Lou, Medical Director for Hospitalists at Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital, joins Wendy for this week’s health update. Dr. Lou discusses the latest on cyclospora and dives into the best ways to get your supply of vitamin D.

    We return for the next installment of Two Truths and Eli, where Wendy and crew have to figure out which news story is the fake one written by Eli.

    Entertainment journalist Alex Zalben, host and producer of Comic Book Club, joins Wendy Snyder to discuss the latest in television, entertainment, and streaming. The duo talks about the newest releases this week, including the season 3 finale of House of the Dragon, season 4 of Reacher, and Ricky Gervais in Alley Cats.

    It seems like the safest way to consume vegetables today is to grow them yourself, and Bob Zeni, the Chicago Tomato Man, joins Wendy Snyder to talk about all things tomatoes. Listen in as Bob fields questions and shares the tips you need to get the most out of your tomatoes.

    Plus, WGN Radio News Anchor Ron Brown joins to talk about the latest on the big screen.
