Happy Sunday! This week we had Common and Pete Rock in the office to talk all about their new joint album with the WGCI Morning Show.

While in Chicago, Comedian & Actor Affion Crockett stopped by the WGCI Morning Show to discuss his role in the new "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," strand-up comedy, his hilarious impersonations & Hip-Hop!

Huge congratulations to Jasmine Bennett for her promotion to Promotions Director for our own 107.5 WGCI! Jasmine has been with iHeartMedia Chicago for 5 years. She started as a promotions technician, worked her way up to Office Coordinator, and has now earned the position of Promotions Director. Jasmine is also an On-Air Personality for our own 103.5 KISS FM, as well as a host of The Brilliantly Black Podcast, which shines the spotlight on Chicagoland's growing Black businesses. She also produces the Women Inspire Chicago Podcast hosted by SVP of Public Engagement Angela Ingram, where she hosts inspiring conversations with some of Chicago’s top women executives. Lastly, she is 1/3 host and the producer of the Midday Live Show Podcast where they discuss entertainment, pop culture, fun topics and interview industry creatives. Jasmine has always dreamed of being on air and knew she wanted to be in entertainment. She has proven that this is exactly where she is supposed to be the entire time. She has done the work and remained patient, motivated, and positive. She always came to work with a smile that would brighten up a room. Congratulations Jasmine! Keep reaching for new heights, keep thriving, hit new goals, and make an impact. The sky is the limit! #theiheartlife #congratulations

Our second year sponsoring WGCI's #PeaceInTheStreets event with our partners at North Lawndale Employment Network (NLEN) has only gotten bigger and better. This year, we included a #jobfair, along with free food, entertainment, giveaways, and more! Supporting this West Side community helps to show the city and it's residents that there are people who care about the individuals and families in this oft forgotten about area. Thank you to Brenda Palms, Jessica N. Butler, MNM, CFRE, CAP®, and the NLEN team for being such a great resource, inspiration, and agents-of-change for this community. #communityservice #bettertogether #communitypartnership iHeartMedia Chicago
