History

"Sound Opinions" began life as a regular feature on Ed Schwartz's overnight program on WLUP-AM in 1993 featuring Derogatis and Bill Wyman who was the rock critic for the "Chicago Reader" at that time. It was then given its own time-slot on Sunday afternoons following the "Sunday Funnies", a comedy program hosted by Brian McCann. In 1994 it moved to Q101. The show ended in 1995 when DeRogatis joined "Rolling Stone". It was reincarnated on WXRT with Kot replacing Wyman in 1998. In 2005 after 354 shows it moved to WBEZ and Chicago Public Radio. It is distributed nationally by American Public Media and is also available as a podcast.
