"On Playtime with Bill Turck and Kerri Kendall: Lainie Petersen with the Theater Report. We visit with the Q Brothers, the only team to put on a hip-hop adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello at the Globe Theatre in London and at Cook County Jail. They've got a great new album for the whole family: Othello: The Remix. Pat Mulligan from Facebook's Mulligan's Virtual Bar joins us and from Two Rivers, the great caricature artist Dean Konop. We're talking with our good friend pastor Scott Marsh from the Michigan flood zone about resources to help folks there. Plus we have new music from upcoming artists on the show—bluesman Johnny Burgin from his No Border Blues, a brand new song from Chip Ratliff, with Chris Greene, Mark Lofgren, the Sunshine Boys, Glam Punk Rockers, Tiny Bits of Giants Blood, Black Friars Social Club, Carmine and Vinny Appice. Nashville singer-songwriter Phillip Michael Scales, who was recently Lightning 100's 'Local Artist of the Week,' has released the new single "Find A Way."
