On Thursday’s Afternoon Shift we talk about three great weekend attractions and the people who work to make them available to you: beer, music and football. We start by taking the pulse of Chicago’s craft beer scene with Mike Roper of the Hopleaf and our own food blogger, Louisa Chu. Then we talk with hard working Chicago soul septet The Right Now in advance of their Lincoln Hall show this weekend. Finally, we talk about the financial and personal reality of working as an NFL player.
