All are welcome to join us on low-powered radio waves (or the internet) from 6-7pm on 105.5 FM (or lumpenradio.com) to hear one of Chicago’s favorite Illustrators, educators, and (of course) printmakers share the tunes that have been the soundtrack to their life in print! You should tune in, it’ll be a good time!!

Hold on a second, when did July get here? Nobody consulted us about the steady, continual passage of time! Whoever’s behind it must be the same faceless entity that made this the *fifteenth* year of The Chicago Printers Guild — and this month the HALFTONE RADIO SUPERSHOW is proud to welcome two of our founding organizers, Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi of @Sonnenzimmer into the booth!

Tune in on Wednesday, July 10 at 6pm on 105.5 FM or on lumpenradio.con to join two of our city’s friendliest, most community minded creators as they share the tunes that have soundtracked their life of printmaking in Chicago. You won’t hear anything like this anywhere else, we promise!!

Watch out now, the airwaves are about to get SPACEY! The Chicago Printers Guild Halftone Radio Supershow is proud to announce our next guest DJ: master lithographer Mike Pennekamp of Metaluna Press!
