This week we welcomed back Sam Larsen as he returned to the SSW Radio host chair after a semester in India. We also dug into our archives to share recordings from our May 2017 coverage of the Chicago Home Theater Festival, hearing a performance from Maggie Kubley, a performance and interview from Frankiem Mitchell, and an interview with the producer/curator of the night Lydia Ross. Then host Andrew Koski discussed what to expect in the new South Side Weekly print issue. To close out the show, we announced our upcoming interview with Emmy award-winning writer Lena Waithe. South Side Weekly hosts Olivia Obineme and Erisa Apantaku chat live with Waithe,  Tuesday, January 23, during the Weekly’s radio hour. Have you seen The Chi, yet? If you have a question or comment you want to share, tweet or leave us a voicemail at 224-215-1890 and we might share your question during the show. Recorded live from WHPK 88.5 FM - The Pride of the South Side with your hosts Olivia Obineme, Sam Larsen, and Andrew Koski. The bumper at the beginning of the show featured members of HUEY Gang and was produced by Jed Lickerman. For more news, visit www.southsideweekly.com.
