You might recall Rod Blagojevich's media frenzy just prior to his impeachment, when he hit the talk show circuit to plead his case. Well, on Wednesday he is hitting just one radio talk show, hosting the "Don Wade & Roma Morning Show" on Chicago's WLS-AM for two hours, 7 AM to 9 AM CDT.
Blagojevich has been a guest on the radio show previously, and will take calls from listeners, tell stories and talk with guests. Interestingly, WLS-AM had offered him a weekend show in January if he resigned. He didn't, and he didn't get the show.
The Don Wade and Roma Show is billed by the station as "the most positive, optimistic radio show in the universe ..." In case you want to call in and talk to Rod Blagojevich, the call-in number is (312) 591-8900.
For those outside the area, you can listen online to Rod Blagojevich's radio stint via the link in the first paragraph. Sorry, it doesn't appear they have an (800) number, however.
Most people might lay low. But Blagojevich's publicist, Glenn Selig said he didn't think the radio show hosting gig would hurt his employer:
"He's going to be the interviewer in this capacity and have a good time on the radio. This is an opportunity for him to get into some dialogues with people, have a good time, have fun and sort of be out there."
He's definitely "out there."
