Chicago Irish Radio-The O'Connor Show. Portions of our some of our live broadcasts & long form pre-recorded interview/chats featuring all kinds of people!
Raw, mostly unedited portions of our live broadcast sans music. Esp the super entertaining bits. This is also the home of long-form pre-recorded chats/interviews with everyday people, musicians, singers, movie makers, politicians. It's all here. These are real conversations, real life.
Unpolished, unvarnished.
Listening in might feel a bit like eavesdropping....without that awkward guilty feeling.
