This week, we checked in with some our favorite local journalists and bloggers for our monthly mash-up. They told us about developments in the news that they think are good news, and ones that they think are bad news. Host Richard Steele was joined by: • WBEZ Education reporter Becky Vevea • Ben Joravsky, reporter with the Chicago Reader • Monroe Anderson, veteran journalist and commentator And this month, we’ll also hear about a new book chronicling the hidden histories of cartoonists of color. For that we were joined by: • Tim Jackson, Author of Pioneering Cartoonists of Color (published by University Press of Mississippi) The Barber Shop Show airs live on Fridays at Noon on Vocalo 91.1FM.
