A new chapter of The Mike Nowak Show with Peggy Malecki starts today at 1590 WCGO, Chicago’s SmartTalk. Right out of the gate, we hope you’ll call us at 847-475-1590 and be a part of the program every week. This week’s show features Robert Nevel from KAM Isaiah Israel, which is hosting its 8th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Sustainability Food Justice and Sustainability Weekend from January 13 to 15. He is joined by one of the presenters at this weekend long series of presentations, Dr. V. Bala Chaudhary. We also chat with Carly Persson, who is the Winter Farmers Market Coordinator for an organization called Faith in Place. They’re promoting a market opening up in Glencoe on January 8. Last but never least, meteorologist Rick DiMaio stops by our new studios to talk about why there hasn’t been a “snowmageddon” this year after so many predictions.
