Special Holiday Podcast (12-20-09): It's a Wonderful Slice of 'It's a Wonderful Life' Mike does the entire movie in about 12 minutes. Producer Heather Frey plays Mary and special
guest star, radio show host Scott Austin joins
the festivities. Oh, yeah. There are a few WCPT
characters in the background singing
"Auld Lang Syne." I don't know how they
got into the studio. Honest.

He urges people to read the statement released by Chicago's Advocates for Urban Agriculture, which outlines why local food institutions should be included in any plan. Leila Shooshoni from Faith in Place and Robin Schirmer from Tomato Mountain Farm preview the winter farmers markets in and around Chicago.
