Author David Himmel joins me for tacos from Turbo Taco (2050 N. Milwaukee). We talk at length about the radio business and Himmel’s excellent radio memoir, “The Last DJ: The Life and Times of a 20-Something Oldies Radio Disc Jockey.”

Discussed in this week’s episode:

• David is a customer of the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston!
• Breaking Bad’s one bad episode: We disagree on this one.
• David’s unabashed love for the art of radio.
• The three things one needs for a career to work: Opportunity, education and money.
• The perils of an office romance: “It’s stupid.”
• Working on radio promotions with area brothels.
• Radio parents will never understand what their kids do for a living.
• That time David went on a blind date with a listener.
• David’s ideas-in-development for future books.
• Why would any true Chicagoan wait behind a velvet rope to pay for a nightclub experience? This is a tavern town.
