Outside the Loop RADIO is Chicago’s Almost Above-Ground Audio Magazine. Founded as a podcast in September 2006 and picked up for broadcast by Chicago Sound Alliance WLUW 88.7-FM in March 2007, “OTL” now airs on Chicago’s Very Own 50,000-watt heritage powerhouse station WGN Radio 720-AM. Storyteller and urbanologist Mike Stephen hosts this weekly program featuring fun segments and interviews with local newsmakers, artists, musicians, and others doing cool stuff around the greater Chicago area. The show covers topics stories that don’t always get mainstream media attention… and it’s all presented with a strong and independent Chicago slant. http://outsidetheloopradio.com
