Jessica Malina's Podcast

Awake with Jake Hartford, Greg Alexander, Jessica Malina and special in studio Guest, Chef Hans! Of course, it wouldn't be awake with Jake without callers: Paul calls from Wisconsin with news of snow, Dr Bob is also in Wisconsin...with a woman, Paul in Downers Grove cracks a joke (?!?) and Michael in Riverside graces us with his presence. Plus, June the astrologer, Joe Rozanski with sports and resident comedian Peter Lipsey. Chef Hans was really on his a-game for this show!

Comic Diorama author, Grant Reynolds, joins me for the 80’s at 8 to talk about his upcoming event at Quimby's. Here is what the Quimby's website has to say about Grant: "Grant Reynolds has been making and self-publishing comics for the better part of his life. By the time you see him at this event he will have turned thirty years old only a few weeks prior. You might wanna wish him a happy birthday (belated) when you see him sitting at the table signing copies of his new book published by Top Shelf entitled Comic Diorama, or even ask how his summer was. If you’re thinking to yourself, “Grant Reynolds, where have I heard that name before?” …well, it might have been from The Skeleton News or Trubble Club, or you may have read one of his books, like Smaller Parts or To the Mouth of the Source…or maybe you both just talked about movies in someone’s kitchen at a party. In any case, if he owes you money, never returned that book he borrowed, or you’ve just got some personal score you’ve been waiting to settle, you’ll know where to find him on October 6th at 7pm. “Chicagoan mini-comics mastermind.” — Al Burian, Burn Collector For more info: http://www.myspace.com/grantreynolds or grantreynolds.etsy.com"
