Joe Cicero, you know him from Star 105.5 in in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. And also his long history with Chicago pizza and Chicago radio joins JP Black to talk about the first issue of the IDW "Godzilla in America" series, the aptly titled Godzilla vs Chicago. This is Joe's first ever comic book!
Godzilla vs Chicago consists of 4 mini-stories. The first, from Mike Costa and Ryan Brown, is a must read for Chicago sports fans and Svengoolie fans. The second story with tales from the El train from Tim Seeley and Heather Breckel. The 3rd story from Ezra Daniels is a classic Chicago politics story with a twist. And the book wraps up with a Caroline Cash story that gives a giant sized middle finger to Indiana... which is every Chicagoan's dream of course. Plus Godzilla everywhere in Chicagoland!
So many great Chicago references in the comic, but there is one mistake that both Joe and J.P. each realized in this issue! Stay for the radio talk as they each share their stories about how not to fry an engineer inside a radio tower!
EXCLUSIVE JOE CICERO RADIO STORIES NOT HEARD ANYWHERE ELSE! Before becoming the main dude on suburban Chicago airwaves for 15 years, Joe had a journey in downtown Chicago radio. Find out about Joe's first gig on the air and what legendary radio personality he had to follow. Radio has so many twists and turns and you gotta make the most of every chance you get. With demo CD in hand, Joe made sure it got in the hands of someone who could give him another shot! Find out how Joe Cicero pissed off the iconic Kevin Matthews as the hotshot new overnight kid.
When Joe gets to Star 105.5 in Crystal Lake, the drama starts on Day 1 with his new boss not even knowing he was hired - yikes! He's a big deal as the morning host and even get a cell phone with a whole lotta MINUTES ready to use!
If Joe Cicero were a Superhero, who would he be? While he has dressed as Batman for Halloween and even got to drive the original Batmobile, his power of care and compassion would turn him into the Amazing Frenzo! (no relation to Wizzo from the Bozo Show.... we think)
Last but not least, Joe Cicero dishes the dirt on the several celebrities he interviewed that may or not be cool (or a jerk!) - Avril, Alanis, Foxworthy, Simon Cowell and more!
