He then moved to Los Angeles for contractual obligations. He is now back in Chicago at WLUP since fall 2005. His claim to fame includes prank calls (including a 'Misinformation Line' for those who dial the wrong number) and interviews with celebrities and almost anyone, sane or insane, involved in the news. Check out the Jonathon Brandmeier podcast available on iTunes to hear some of his wacky entourages. He's back and JUST HAVIN' FUN again!!! (goetzrbrt5) |
