Garry Meier, one of Chicago's enduring radio personalities, granted a rare interview to RadioGirl (aka Margaret Larkin). (Screenshot: www.wgnradio.com)
It's a very amusing chat with a witty and congenial Meier: "I started when I was six...I started talking when I was in first grade and just kept talking until I could make a living off it."
Garry Meier is now heard weekdays from 1 - 4 p.m. on WGN/Chicago but in the past has partnered with two other iconic Chicago radio men: Steve Dahl and Roe Conn.
You can hear the Meier interview at the home of the RadioGirl podcast.
