Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan to talk about his recent interview with none other than Jeff Bridges—The Dude himself—and why Jim considers him the best actor on the planet. They also dive into some recent and classic concerts that Jim and/or Nick have attended, including Iggy Pop, Ratboys, Suzanne Vega, Daryl Hall, Heart, Cheap Trick, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to recap her birthday night out (a show at The Hideout featuring Al Scorch), answer more questions from the Ultimate Pop Culture Quiz, and react to some surprising behind-the-scenes Hollywood trivia—like the fact that Beverly Hills Cop was originally written for Sylvester Stallone, and My Cousin Vinny was first pitched to Andrew "Dice" Clay. Whoah! [Ep 342]

Joey Santore and his friend Al Scorch were out kayaking on the Chicago River when they came across a sight more fit for “Jurassic Park” than a big city – a giant snapping turtle Santore named “chonkosaurus.” Santore, who runs the “Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't” YouTube channel, joined “Something Offbeat” to talk about the now-viral turtle video he captured as well as offbeat wildlife.
Chicago is having an urban wildlife moment. Has this always been the case, or is this emergence of city critters indicative of something bigger? Reset checks in with a panel of wildlife experts and ecologists, including Seth Magle, director of the Urban Wildlife Institute at Lincoln Park Zoo, Al Scorch, botanist with Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't, Tyler LaRiviere, Chicago Sun-Times photographer and Rebecca Fyffe, urban wildlife manager.
Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes were joined by Al Schorch and Joey Santore, the two Chicago men who caught the now-famous "Chonkosaurus" on video, to detail their recent adventure on the Chicago River and their love of wildlife.
In this episode, we rant about creepy lights in the sky and Elon Musk, the Conflict Algorithm (™), creating habitat in your ugly front yard, Sticky Plants in San Diego County, Montezuma Cypress in Central Texas, making love to Tucker Carlson's Neckfat, doin' PAHT with Al Scorch, Fall Blooming Composites, etc
Out of Huntsville, Alabama, Kyle Lybarger is a force for native plants and ecosystems and getting people to see things that they might otherwise overlook and consider doing things a little differently than how they've been done for too long. I've admired this guy's work for a while and I love what he's doing so I figured we'd sit down and have a two hour conversation about everything from growing plants, discovering species once thought extinct and having a reverence and awareness for the land, for the plants and for the life that depends on them.Chicago Meditative Cassette Tape Intro by AL Scorch.

DAVINA AND THE VAGABONDS have created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows, level A musicianship, sharp-dressed professionalism, and Sowers� commanding stage presence. DATV�s shows are filled with New Orleans charm, Memphis soul swagger, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill, and tender gospel passages. Davina�s voice and stage presence defy category in a different way. Davina has been compared to Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and Betty Boop, but comparisons don�t suffice: Sowers is a true original. AL SCORCH grew up in Chicago, with its storied history of corrupt power at the top and righteous fighters and big dreamers at the bottom. Balanced on wedges of punk, old-time string band, American and European folk, and soulful balladry, Al is an entertainer, road warrior, storyteller, and one helluva musician. His second album and Bloodshot debut �Circle Round the Signs� is built on a sonic framework sharing an intersection with the Bad Livers� lawless next-gen take on traditional country & bluegrass, and Black Flag�s burn-it-all-down revolt and breakneck tempos. WoodSongs Kid: Beth Davis is a 12-Year-Old award winning fiddle player and vocalist from Carbondale, Illinois.
T.J. Male is an Ohio born and bred musician. His current band is folk group Part Time Gentleman. We sit down to discuss the 2012 album Tired Ghostly Town by Al Scorch and His Country Soul Ensemble. Great chat with a great dude. As always go listen to the record!!!
THEY ARE SIMPLY FAB. AL SCORCH AND DREW DAVIS FOR YOU.

Fast, sloppy, high energy banjo, drums, and wild punk yelps, and heartfelt wails filled the studio as Al Scorch’s Country Soul Ensemble rock and roll the night with raucous, melodies, old-time tunes, pub chants, and words that don’t leave you with much choice but to sing along and shake a leg. http://www.myspace.com/alplaysbanjo http://wzrdchicago.org [4/1/10]
