WHPK DJ Jorie Johnson on Jazz and Community

Published: May 3, 2018, 9:23 p.m.

Raised on jazz, when Jorie Johnson got the chance to show her stuff to then-format chief Richton Guy Thomas, she did not disappoint. The hour-long "audition" left her with a show on WHPK. For the past four years, Jorie K's Journey has shared all types of jazz with her listeners. Johnson joined WHPK hosts Olivia Obineme and Andrew Koski in studio for a deeper look at her show and her hopes for the community. South Side Weekly Radio airs live on Tuesdays from 3-4pm at WHPK 88.5 FM - The Pride of the South Side - with your hosts Andrew Koski, Sam Larsen, and Olivia Obineme. The bumper at the beginning features SSW reporter Bridget Vaughn and the Chicago band Malafacha and was produced by Jed Lickerman. For more news, visit www.southsideweekly.com.
