From the jungles of Comet-Con in the far East; Steve Katz!

We have been working hard to bring you the best from the Peoria area and just to prove it, we trudged through bones and street vendors to reach Steve Katz.

Let's listen.....

A Day in Branson with Comedian/Musician/Tom Huck enthusiast, Chris Pennant

What better way to escape this horrific arctic tundra than to head on south to Branson, MO to catch-up with one of our favorite features around, Chris Pennant, and soak up some of that early roots culture only Branson can supply!

WE ARE SO COMING BACK!

  Hey you five, listen up! We're coming back! YES! Finally! And to celebrate, we've got a little contest for you:

 If you can guess my next guest's trade and what their preferred tool is, you will win a little gift from 'The Vault of Many Things I Need to Downsize On". It won't be underwear or used bandages, don't worry!

 If you think you've got it, please send your name, address and phone number to:

itplaysinpeoria@gmail.com

That's 'It Plays In Peoria' mashed together in case you have a disorder where you can't read things that are mashed together. If that's a thing, then let's be sensitive about it people!

Great! Can't wait to hear from the listeners! I hope you don't all work on the same night.
