Johnnie Putman and Steve King are back for another year of fun guests, conversations and stories! Kick up your feet and sit by the fire because, baby, it’s cold outside.
Our first guest is the one and only Charlie Meyerson, journalist, editor and most notably former newscaster right here on WGN Radio. He tunes in to catch up on the good old days at the Chicago Tribune, WXRT, WGN and with Johnnie at WAUR/WMRO! He tells us about Chicago Public Square, his online independent news source, which is much needed when many networks and publications are facing higher costs and corporate pressure.
Patrick Crispen, Director of Educational Technology at Keck School of Medicine at USC, checks in for a regular update on all things technology. We dive deep into more cyberspace with more hacking and AI shenanigans and we get the scoop on Patrick and his son Joseph’s driverless Waymo ride.
We have plenty of words to discuss(and words to dispose of), some Sports Between the Sheets with Gabe Salgado to close out the Bears season and everyone’s NYE recap.

The countdown begins! Steve King and Johnnie Putman present their last show of the year! Knowing them, it had to be a special one with some special guests!

The Crispens are also in the house! Our favorite tech professor Patrick Crispen makes the long trip to Chicago and he brings his superstar team, Christine and Joseph! Patrick walks us through some wonky audio installation, some of the biggest hacks and scams of the year, including the latest from “free” browser add-on Honey, and what to expect bad internet actors going into 2025.
We have tons of other fun morsels throughout the show, so kick back, relax, get your grapes ready and start placing bets on how long it will take before you remember to write 2025 on your checks!
