On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to the author of a new book that dives deep into the history of Kentucky bourbon and the story of the state’s most prestigious distiller. Wright Thompson’s new book is titled PAPPYLAND. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will join Gary to discuss their favorite theatrical productions of 2020. Later in the show, Gary sits down with the owner of a new 4,500-square foot art gallery in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. And Gary catches up with Chicago magazine features editor David McAninch about the publication’s ranking of the 50 moments that most influenced the city over the past 5 decades.
