The JRL Media Tour Continues

Tomorrow John Landecker will be on three different big-time radio shows in Chicago.



At 9am, tune into WGN Radio and hear two Johns, no waiting. John Landecker joins Johnny B. This should be fun because Brandmeier contributed a few really great stories about Landecker to the book. One of them probably can't be told on the air, but it's a doozy. (The others are good too)

At 3pm, check out WBEZ Radio. John makes a return appearance to NPR, a significant milestone in his life. He'll certainly tell the story of how NPR helped his parents realize that their son was actually successful (and not just a college dropout)

At 4pm, we'll zip down to the WLS-AM studios and spend time with Roe & Roeper. Richard Roeper and John will probably share a few tales from their mutual film critic days, including the way John used to take over the room during media availablities for celebrities.

Just guessing on the content. I'm not producing the shows...that's just what I would suggest talking about if I was producing them.

I'll be tagging along to all three interviews, taking some behind the scenes pictures for the Eckhartz Press blog. I'm also going to squeeze in an interview with Bobby Skafish at 11am. He's going to be May's feature subject for my Illinois Entertainer column.

Late Update: Roe is sick. Roe and Roeper will be next week instead.
