Episode #35 Thomas O'Gorman

In this week’s award-winning podcast, “Candid Candace – The Podcast!” my co-host/producer John St. Augustine and I take a walk down memory lane with Chicago’s beloved scrivener, historian, artist, poet Tom O’Gorman (author of the must-read Skyline column). We chat about his book, “Inside the Wigwam,” which shares the fascinating history of Chicago’s national conventions and what he thinks might happen at the one coming up. We also discuss all the exciting events around town including a historical river cruise by Music of the Baroque; inside the PAWS Chicago Beach Party; upcoming art fests; Will Ferrell’s Ultimate DJ Party in Chicago; the world’s best fire dancing jam; what’s new at this year’s Chicago Gourmet; The Service Club’s fashion show; Ravinia Festival’s gala “Mancini at 100”; Amanda Puck’s (Mariano’s) upcoming avocado party; Chicago Lighthouse’s “FLAIR” event (with love to honoree Shauna Montgomery), and soooooo much more! So, sit back and grab a margarita as the night fills with the sights and sounds of summer and take a listen.
