Windy City Irish Radio

With names like Hinky Dink, Old Smoke and Bugs, there are many colorful characters populating the Irish underworld. This week, from the mean streets of New York City to the humble studios of Windy City Irish Radio​, Mike and Tim get all literary welcoming best-selling author T.J. English​ onto the show to discuss his new book, Where the Bodies Were Buried: Whitey Bulger​ and the World that Made Him. In advance of his book signing at the Irish American Heritage Center​ and his opening stint for The Westies​ at City Winery Chicago​ this Friday night, English regales the lads with stories of the Irish mob spanning over 150 years of crime and cronyism. And in keeping with the outlaws theme, Mike and Tim spin a few prison/outlaw favs by the Blaggards​, Runa​, Chris Thile​, Chris Eldridge​, Marcus Mumford​, Tommy Makem​, Black 47 and Johnny Cash​. Join Mike Shevlin and Tim Taylor this and every Wednesday evening on WSBC 1240AM Chicago from 8pm to 9pm or listen to the podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com
