South Side Pod

Hoops, Jets & The Lyric

We go back to the Lyric Theater to visit with Pat Disabato and see how that revolutionary venue is bringing new life to Blue Island. Pat may no longer be covering south side high school hoops, but Tim O'Brien of The Beverly Review is here with the best teams and most exciting place to see a game. We also have a beer with a veteran who kept fighter jets flying off of aircraft carriers. Was Top Gun 2 realistic? It's all in "30 Minutes of Good!"
