WHPK host takes show to the HotHouse

One of my favorite shows on WHPK, News from the Service Entrance, is heading out of the friendly confines of the Reynolds Club in Hyde Park this week for a live broadcast at the HotHouse Tuesday night. Celebrating the 4th year of his news, music and public affairs show, host Mario will be bringing his unique humor and insight to a live audience at 31 East Balbo and to a worldwide audience via a special simulcast on Live365.com. Guests scheduled to appear include former Vibe magazine editor Cheo Coker, Scoop Jackson from ESPN.com, vocalist Maggie Brown and Jeremy Adragna, who should be reprising his role as the show's resident newsman. There will also be performances by Kevin Coval (Def Poetry Jam), Triple Blak (Def Poetry Jam), Mr. Greenweedz, Ascendant, Motep and Ugochi. The live broadcast starts at 9:30pm, admission is $5, must be 21+. The HotHouse is located in the South Loop at 31 East Balbo. News From the Service Entrance is normally heard every Thursday afternoon on the South Side from 2:30 to 4pm on WHPK-FM 88.5.
