Wilco
In 2001, Sound Opinions was a live radio show broadcast only in Chicago. One week after the September 11th attacks, Wilco members Jeff Tweedy, John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche and Leroy Bach recorded a live session and interview with Jim and Greg. They discuss the new lineup of the band and how their record label rejected their album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

Jim and Greg gave Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco effusive praise when it was new. Now they revisit the album to decide if they still love it as much as they did 20 years ago.

Dear Listeners,
For more than 15 years, Sound Opinions was a production of WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station. Now that the show is independent, we're inviting you to join the band and lend a hand! We need your support more than ever because now we have to do all the behind-the-scenes work that WBEZ handled before (like buying insurance and paying for podcast hosting, ugh). Plus, we have some exciting ideas we'd like to try now that there's no one to tell us no!
