10With Podcast: Cynthia Plaster Caster, Part 2

By Karl Klockars in News on Nov 24, 2010 4:00PM

Cynthia Plaster Caster: Recovering rock n' roll groupie. Artist. Plaster penis aficionado. Mayor?

There is no penis-related pun or turn of phrase that the Caster Camp won't turn as a part of her campaign, and we hung out with the leader of the Hard Party for an enlightening conversation about her run to bring her statues to the 5th floor of City Hall.

In the second entry to our discussion, we sat down with Ms. Caster and her Chief of Staff, the appropriately named Oz Chiefman, amongst the plaster wangs to continue our conversation about the Chicago she grew up in. What brought her back from the west coast? Has she ever run into the current mayor throughout her long Chicago residency? And why would she "rather talk dick" over politics?

As we mentioned yesterday, these interviews were recorded before the filing date, as such we operated under the assumption that Ms. Caster would be on the ballot. Whether she moves forward as a write-in or as a fully registered balloted candidate, we wanted to talk with her no matter what. (Start with Part 1 here, conclude with part 3 here.)
