Alec and Sim are joined by Gavin Good of the Peoria Journal-Star and Illini Inquirer to breakdown Illinois' 98-81 win at Penn State.
I'm going to shoot straight with you all here: This is an Illinois preview, featuring the excellent Gavin Good of the Peoria Journal Star, but there's only so much to talk about when it comes to Illinois-Ohio State. Quarterback Brandon Peters seems to be playing well, linebacker Jake Hansen is solid, and that's about it. This episode still has all the preview you could possibly want, but this is not an hour and a half of Illinois talk. No, it's a journey around the college football world, including some hollering about the awful College Football Playoff rankings. It's also an examination of what we know, what we think we know and what we don't know about this Ohio State team.

The top American diplomat in Ukraine, William Taylor, described in closed-door testimony to impeachment investigators a quid-pro-quo pressure campaign by President Trump to withhold security aid and a White House meeting unless the Ukrainian President publicly pledged to investigate the Bidens and 2016 election interference. Taylor also Rudy Giuliani as being at the center of an “irregular policy channel” that was at odds with normal foreign policymaking. My producer Victor Wright, joins us for some of the details of William Taylor's testimony. Next, a crazy story coming out of Illinois. A 9-year old boy is facing five counts of murder and arson charges stemming from a fire he started back in April. At his arraignment, the judge had to slow things down multiple times to help the boy understand the charges against him. The boy did not know what “alleged” or “arson” meant. The boy is too young to go to jail, but if convicted he could be put on probation for five years and sent to a detention center if that is violated. Phil Luciano, reporter for the Peoria Journal Star, was in the courtroom for the boy's arraignment and tells us what he saw. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

In this revealing, insightful interview Doug Fruehling, the editor of the Washington Business Journal, opens up about what it’s like to be a leader who doesn’t always feel like he has all the answers.

He's been misidentified as "The Bearded Bandit" and dubbed "The" Matt O'Connor in Japan.Today, Matt is a "mild-mannered" newspaper editor at the Chicago Tribune, where he's covered public corruption at federal courts (including corrupt Gov. George Ryan), crime in Cook County (the Dowaliby kid-killing trial), and business. Before that, he's got amazing tales from his early days covering Caterpillar for the Peoria Journal Star, which sent him all around the world for a 10-part series about the giant corporation's future back in the day. A fun chat with a forty-year veteran who's got interesting stories about "deceptively dangerous" Jeffrey Erickson, a notorious bandit and former police trainee, and the points-shaving scandal at Northwestern.
