This Saturday night The Irish American Hall of Fame hosts its 8th Annual Gala (TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE AT www.iahof.org!) at the at the Irish Irish American Heritage Center and on this week's show the lads dress to the nines to pay tribute to its esteemed inductees. The 2018 class includes Author and Historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Studs Lonigan author James T. Farrell, former Mundelein College President and women's rights champion, Sr. Ann Ida Gannon BVM, Philanthropist Charles "Chuck" Feeney, John Philip Holland, Inventor of the Submarine, former White Sox owner Charles Comiskey, Blessed Solanus Casey, Vice President Joe Biden, and our 2018 Hometown Hero Rags of Honor founder Mark Doyle. Tune in as Mike and Tim tell their stories as Hall of Famers hoping to give a sense of OUR stories as Irish-Americans without shamelessly lobbying for their own induction.
