Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 32 ratings
  • Proco interview

    This man has a lifelong addiction. The questions Fran asked him clearly indicated she has zero indication of what addiction is and how to approach an addict in recovery. I am no fan of Moreno at all but she needs to do her homework before interviewing people with addiction. IDk why he did this interview with her.

  • Rude, interrupts and talks over guest

    I’ve never listened to an interviewer who is so rude to a guest. I understand you have to ask questions, but there is actually a better way than interrupting and talking over your guests.

  • A Must if you care about Chicago

    There is nobody that knows and understands the political scene in Chicago more than Fran Spielman. Her show is extremely well done and interesting to listen to, no less very informative. I look forward to it each week.
