Word. Sometimes Chicago Public Radio does a joke-off where they tell yo' momma jokes and stuff. It's clean but hilarious. Quality quality. Much better than that Ryan Seacrest drivel on the other stations. Ugh but as I recall... there's not much else worth listening to in Chicago (KISS, B96, Q101, the Drive ... same crap).
Viva Sirius, viva podcasts.
I'm from the generation that grew up watching Sesame Street (B.E. - Before Elmo) and Reading Rainbow with Geordi LaForge and Mystery on PBS in the Chicago 'burbs. I still try to catch Arthur if I have the chance.
