WGN Radio Hosts Bob Sirott and John Landecker Return with Special Three-Hour Friday Night Nostalgia Radio Show

Back by popular demand, ‘For Radio Geeks Only’ to air Friday, August 15, 7 – 10 pm

CHICAGO (August 14, 2025) – WGN Radio announced today its hosts Bob Sirott and John Records Landecker will return for another night of radio nostalgia. Back by popular demand, “For Radio Geeks Only,” sponsored by Apple Chevy, is expanded to a three-hour show airing on Friday, August 16 from 7 to 10 pm. Sirott and Landecker first united in July for an hour’s show, reminiscing about their days as music DJs.

“Listeners to our first ‘For Radio Geeks Only’ special told us they wanted more – and John and I did, too! We’re glad to bring it back with an even longer show this time,” said Bob Sirott.

Go back to the days before streaming, cable, VCRs, DVDs, and smartphones when rock and roll radio was a source of entertainment. Sirott and Landecker will play their favorite jingles and will be joined by special guests, including 1960s disc jockey Ron Riley and Spike O’Dell, one of WGN Radio’s very own.

Listeners are encouraged to call or text the station at 312-981-7200 to share their stories of listening to radio and records. The show will be available as a podcast on wgnradio.com.
