Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! On Today’s program, host Gary Zidek checks in with music critic & writer Kelefa Sanneh to talk about why music genres matter and discuss his critically acclaimed new book, MAJOR LABELS. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary for their annual holiday theater preview. Lots of holiday flavor on Chicago-area stages over the next six weeks. And later, Gary revisits a conversation with the author of a comprehensive new biography all about the great Mike Nichols.
