Hour One

We tell you what's trending at nextthirdcoast.wpengine.com. Johnny Iguana gives us an update on
The Claudettes tour—they have shows in Chicago and Rockford the next two weekends. World renowned violinist Stella Chen is on ahead of her show at Ravinia's Bennett Gordon Hall next Saturday. Then, Chad Quist, guitarist for Heart by Heart, talks about his outstanding solo album, Mercury Messenger.

Hour Two

We have a holiday shopping deal from Rogers Park and then this week's Blame Bill. Lainie Petersen gives the theater report. From PBS and WTTW, Dan Andries talks about his series, "Art and Design in Chicago," a four-part series exploring the creative movements, people and institutions of Chicago over the last 125 years. Crowning a great hour, we have the incomparable Leopold Segedin, 92 years old and still creating exemplary works of art. Don't miss this interview. Plus new music from Jason Hawk Harris, May Devun, Driftwood Soldier and Ester Rose. Playtime. Your home for the Arts.
