On this week's entry to the Chicagoist Podcast Series, we go back to the No Games Chicago folks and see what's transpired since we last spoke back in March. You'll recall that Tom Tresser joined us to discuss their efforts and their rally, and we find ourselves doing the same thing this week - but much, much closer to zero-hour. How did they get face time with the IOC? How did they get Olympic Committee eyes on anti-bid information in Switzerland? We'll find out. [Ed's Note: We reached out to Chicago 2016 early last week to get one of their reps to keep things "Fair & Balanced." Granted, most of their crew is now in Copenhagen, but we've yet to hear anything back from them. If you're still up for it, Chicago 2016, so are we! - M.G.]

Also, next week will see something that barely exists in the swirling dervish that is modern media - the radio play. Deathscribe 2009 comes to the Music Box next Monday, and features independently-produced horror radio dramas, a genre of radio theater barely touched even in the heyday of the medium's dominance. Brian Amidei will be producing the show for Wild Claw Theater and talks with us about the production.
