We’re Going Camping!

Sometimes a Southsider just needs to do some camping, and sometimes that means buying the most southside vehicle possible. If movies are your thing, we have Hollywood Insider Ben Belton with word on the MCU, The Batman and non-comic book movies to see in theaters. If you like the Olympics, we have 1st-time Olympian Abbey Murphy of the USA Women's Hockey Team joining us. If you like live music, local news & laughs we have those too in "30 Minutes of Good!"

The Pizza Episode

We here at South Side Pod have avoided the most controversial topic we could think of for long enough. It is time to wade into the debate over the Best Pizza on the South Side. We split into categories and throw out some solid nominations for the best pizzas you can eat. How did we do? Who did we miss? Listen as we visit several local locations as we likely upset a lot of people while talking about pizza.
