Here's what we have lined up for the regular weekend shows...

[Friday (Saturday 4/3 @ 12a)]
The official 2010 Cubs season starts next week, so we thought it'd be cool to welcome Michael Osacky of The BaseballAttic to the studio to talk sports cards -- specifically pre-1975 baseball cards, and the history of their connection to Chicago.

[Friday (Saturday 4/3 @ 1:15a)]
In this week's edition of "Drunks in the News", we'll hear possibly the most-submitted-to-us story of all time -- as read by listener Ron States!

[Saturday 4/3 @ 10p]
Tonite we welcome actor Lance Henriksen back to the show! He's got a ton of cool stuff happening -- including accepting an award this coming week in Brussels, signing a deal to be the voice of the Droid phone campaign ads, and much more. We'll also check in with Troy Foreman and James McLean of BacktoFRANKBLACK about their campaign to "return Millennium hero Frank Black [played by Lance] and his associated characters back to our screens!".

[Saturday 4/3 @ 11p]
It's always fun having Chicago Tribune staffer Monica Eng on the show, because there's always alot of food news that needs to be discussed. We'll hit a range of topics tonite -- including how the Chicago Public Schools has announced it will change its menus, as well as the protests calling for Ronald McDonald's retirement.

[Sunday (Monday 4/5 @ 12a)]
If you're a newish listener to the show, you might not remember our old friend Ted Linhart -- formerly a programmer at WPWR here in Chicago, and a true TV geek who ran an all-things television website. He's now the VP of Program Research at the USA Network... so we'll check in with him to see what it's like working in the world of first-run cable shows.
