51. LIFERS - Lauren O'Neil

One of the (many) things missing at commercial corporatized radio is personality. The kind of personality that makes a star DJ. You know the type. The DJ that makes you tune into their radio station during their time slot. The kind of DJ that you see at all your favorite shows. The DJ that makes you think, “Goddamn! It must be FUN to be a DJ!!!” Lauren O’Neil of 101 WKQX in Chicago (and the Don Pardo of this podcast) is all of those things — and her many listeners and fans know it. Which is why they love her. We love her, too. On this episode: Canadian doppelgängers, how round the clock plays of “Stairway To Heaven” gave Lauren the radio bug, Florida, Ben tortures Scott with the Barstool Pizza guy, the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Gabe as a hologram, Scott loves “Queer Eye”, and Lauren loves Killswitch Engage.
