Catch us live every Sunday morning from 9-11am Central Time via live audio stream at mikenowak.net or The Mike Nowak Show on Facebook and YouTube. Once the show is aired, it becomes a podcast on MikeNowak.net, along with a blog that provides links, additional information, insights and often irreverent commentary. Mike has been the go-to radio voice of the environment and gardening topics in Chicago for more than 20 years. Peggy Malecki has been the publisher of Natural Awakenings Chicago Magazine for a decade. Meteorologist Rick DiMaio is a veteran of Chicago TV and radio who isn't afraid to utter the words "climate change." We're casual, accessible, entertaining, informative, fun and just slightly subversive. Check us out.
