Nick D – Marnie Shure, Slap Bracelets, & A Somber Day

Nick begins with reflections on the date of September 4th, a bittersweet day marking both the passing of the legendary Roy Leonard and Nick’s own difficult exit from a certain radio station. He shares why those memories matter, how they shaped him, and the perspective he’s gained since.

Writer Marnie Shure then joins the conversation to preview the upcoming Mortified event, the Printer’s Row Lit Fest, and to dig into the history of podcasting. She also brings her monthly “Horror Report,” breaking down the latest scary films she’s been watching.

Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick recap the recent Oasis concert at Soldier Field and continue their playful stroll through 90s pop culture, touching on slap bracelets, the early days of the Sony PlayStation, and how anyone survived earning just $3.80 an hour. [Ep 383]
