Friday on Eight Forty-Eight, we bid a sad farewell to our traffic reporter Sarah Jindra, who is making the leap from radio to the TV world. Cheryl Raye-Stout updates us on the Cubs and Sox as they return from the All-Star break to conquer the second half of the season. The Dueling Critics talk about adapting classic theatrical pieces to different times/places/cultures and review Luis Alfaro’s Oedipus El Rey at Victory Gardens Theater. Finally, Alison Cuddy celebrates Magic Mike and the history of “beefcakes” in film.
