LIVE in Chicago with Clark Jones, Lucia Whalen, and Mike O'Keefe Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

This week we present the fun and slightly-chaotic live show recorded at The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago in late October 2022. On this episode we chatted with comedians Clark Jones (@clarklarewjones ), Lucia Whalen (@luciawhalen), and Mike O'Keefe (@themikeokeefe) about what they think is the best "gateway" country song. This, of course, turned into a friendly competition, and was followed by some panel vs audience country music trivia.
