The Arts Section 05/16/21: HMS Media Profile + Rainbow Cone Expands

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek take a closer look at a local media company that’s captured many of great virtual productions we’ve watched at home over the past 14 months. Speaking of virtual theater, the Dueling Critics will join me to discuss First Folio’s streaming world premiere, WAITING FOR TINA MEYER. Gary checks in with WDCB’s own Steve Cushing to pay tribute to the late Bob Koester, the founder of Delmark Records and the owner of the Jazz Record Mart passed away this past week. Later in the show, we’ll satisfy our sweet tooth, as Gary sits down with the third generation owner of one of Chicago’s most popular ice cream parlors. The original Rainbow Cone has been a southside staple for 95 years, now it’s expanding into the western suburbs.
