Kathy & Judy DIRECT: A Conversation with the Girlfriends

Kathy O’Malley and Judy Markey are a dynamic duo. These former newspaper columnists started a radio show, The Kathy and Judy Show, as an experiment. That experiment continued for 20 years. When WGN-AM canceled the mid-morning Girlfriends on May 22, 2009, colleagues were saddened and hundreds of loyal fans protested.

What have Kathy & Judy been doing since? What is in their future? What are the best memories of their careers so far? What are their favorite cuss words? 

NPR reporter Cheryl Corley asks the questions at an Inside the Actors Studio-style interview and gives the rest of us a chance too.

Recorded Thursday, September 17, 2009 at Columbia College Film Row Cinema.
