Geek Joins Outside The Loop Radio Thursday Morning At 10
Very few, select people have the number for the Parking Ticket Geek’s super secret hotline.
So, when that bright orange parking ticket colored phone rang in the Geek’s underground bunker earlier in the week, we knew it’s someone important.
It was Mike Stephen, the affable host of Outside the Loop Radio.
Stephen was desperate. With NATO in town, all the potential cool, interesting and important guests he usually has on the show had fled town.

The Geek Joins Nick D. Show Saturday Night At 8
I listen to a lot of radio.
No, seriously, a LOT. I drive so much, I constantly have the radio on.
But there’s one show I think it’s perhaps the most fun and entertaining radio show in Chicago.
It’s Nick Digilio’s weekend evening show on WGN 720 AM.
The guy is witty, funny, intelligent and totally dialed in to pop culture. And I think I trust his movie reviews more than Roger Ebert.
For whatever reason, one of my favorite radio hosts likes to lower the respectability of his show every once in a while and invite the Parking Ticket Geek on the air.
The Geek joins Nick D. Saturday night at 8 PM to discuss all the crazy driving and parking related stuff that’s been going on lately–speed cameras, record gas prices, red light cameras and more.

Geek Joins Nick D. On WGN Radio Saturday Night
WGN Radio 720 is what’s called a “heritage” radio station.
It was one of the very first commercial radio stations in America, with a long and storied past, and continues to be a powerhouse.
With 50,000 watts of power, listeners all over the Midwest and even further in some cases can pick it up.
When the radio industry first got started, radio stations only existed in large cities. But with lots of transmitter power, they were able to broadcast news, music and information to people hundreds of miles away.
Well, Saturday night, all those listeners across the country will get a chance to be annoyed by that moron, the Parking Ticket Geek when he joins the hip and hilarious Nick Digilio on his show at 7 PM.
