Car Con CarneSmoking Popes: Song-by-Song through ‘Lovely Stuff’ (Episode 1060)The Smoking Popes released the excellent “Lovely Stuff” a few months back, which was the perfect excuse to have frontman Josh Caterer return to the show for his 14th (!) time. With the new album top-of-mind, we go song-by song through all 10 songs. I loved having the opportunity to hear about the songwriting process and behind-the-scenes stories that led to its release. This one’s for Smoking Popes fans, and is a must-listen if you’ve spent any time with “Lovely Stuff.” We met at Noon Whistle Brewing (800 E. Roosevelt in Lombard), and enjoyed being able to...2025-07-1043 min

Car Con CarneQ101 Program Director James Kurdziel (Episode 1-0-1-1)Q101 (101.1FM / WKQX) is back on Chicago’s FM dial, after many confusing and MIA years for the brand. A fresh listen reveals a station in line with what many (or at least I) would argue is a “classic” Q101 look and feel. Let’s be candid: Terrestrial radio is facing serious headwinds, and its success hinges on bold ideas spanning multiple platforms. To talk about radio, and more specifically, Q101, I invited Q101 Program Director James Kurdziel to discuss topics like: What makes for a good air personality in the modern day (especially compared to, say, the...2024-11-2753 min

Car Con CarneDocumentary on legendary ‘Kingdom Come’ graphic novel series on the way (Episode 995)Kingdom Come is a four-issue DC Comics graphic novel miniseries that came out in 1996. Mark Waid wrote it, Alex Ross envisioned it and painted it, and this epic story continues to ripple through not just the comics industry but the mainstream. It’s a study in heroism, morality, and generational change. And despite the large cast of characters, this really is a Superman story at its core - where truth, justice and the American way come in direct conflict with a brutal new world. You hear the world “legendary” overused to the poin...2024-10-0134 min
