Nick D – Jim Ryan, Music Talk, CIFF and Why Fast Casual?

Nick shares some of the movies he’s caught at the 62nd Chicago International Film Festival before catching up with music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com. Jim talks about his latest interviews with Harry Connick Jr., Ministry’s Al Jourgensen, and Devo’s Gerald Casale, along with a recent Roger Daltrey concert and an El DeBarge show that took place in the parking lot of a Metra station. Yeah, really. Nick also tells Jim about a terrific WXRT pop-up performance by Wolf Alice at the Empty Bottle on a Monday afternoon.

Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick recap their weekends, share some of their latest adventures watching Tubi, and wrap up their fast-food quiz with questions about Blizzards, Super Subs, and the origins of the term “fast casual.” Because apparently, even fast food needed a fancier name. [Ep 501]
