Aadam Jacobs on Chicago Now - Fox32 - 4/16/2026 YouTube video by Brian Emerick

Aadam Jacobs on Fox32 this morning! :)

Aadam would love this. He was good friends with him. There is an online archive of some of Malachi’s work, but much of it you must go in person. I inquired about us doing that too but he told me it had all already been digitized.

really glad labels understand this is all for the love of it. Enjoy!

I live for these Ludwig updates.

I took that photo. that's my stair. :D

I think John Bartol did that transfer. :)

Hello - Brian the archivist here. Happy you're all enjoying!

it's coming.

Oh I’m not that interesting :)

we sparkle

certain ones are, which we a concerned about due to past history.

Thanks for listening :)

There are two. They are already on the archive. 10/05/88 and 11/23/88. Sadly he doesn’t like the Pumpkins. They were openers.

Ira is still unsure about allowing them. There are tons in the AJC. hopefully coming.

More Replacements coming I think :)

Not secret. He had permission to tape the headliner and indecently also taped the opener. :)

Those radical left Catholics…

Rogan didn't endorse Trump because some people on the left criticized him; he endorsed Trump because well-funded right wing propagandists -- for which liberals and the left have no equivalent -- repeatedly targeted his sponge-like mind with right wing propaganda.

ok no worries. It may be on another tape I don't have yet, but it does not say (not rec'd) next to Leeches in his journal, so it's probaby somewhere.
