Legendary sportscaster Chet Coppock is the latest Chicago media personality to jump on the podcasting bandwagon.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoppock Uncensored,\u201d an hourlong weekly show covering music, movies, sports and current events, will premiere July 16 on the Radio Misfits Podcast Network, <\/a>a growing lineup of locally produced talk shows taped at various locations around the city.<\/p>\n

Producing the show for Coppock will be Oppih Productions, headed by broadcast entrepreneur and former \u201cNude Hippo\u201d host Tony Lossano. (Oppih is \"Hippo\" spelled backwards.) His \u201cLossano and Friends!\u201d podcast also airs on the Radio Misfits Network.<\/p>\n

Lossano said he sees podcasting as a way for seasoned veterans like Coppock, 66, to stay relevant and promote their personal brands. The new show coincides with publication of Coppock\u2019s third book, Doug Buffone: Monster of the Midway,<\/a><\/em> a biography of the late Chicago Bears linebacker, who died last April.<\/p>\n

Another Oppih Productions show, \u201cThe (Untitled) Hour with Hot Doug and The Hitmaker,\u201d is premiering Tuesday. It features noted restaurateur and raconteur Doug Sohn and musician Nick Markos, who each week will \u201cexplore the arcane, the serious, and the absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eddie Volkman and Chet Coppock<\/p><\/div>\n

Airing since February on the network is \u201cEddie V\u2019s Road Show,\u201d a weekly comedy\/variety podcast hosted by Eddie Volkman, the longtime Chicago radio personality and one-half of the iconic duo of Eddie & Jobo.<\/p>\n

Although generating revenue through advertising and location sponsorships remains challenging, Lossano said, the key to success is the increasing accessibility of podcasts through mobile apps and other devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now we\u2019re just trying to build a decent model to keep this going,\u201d he said. \u201cThe accessibility is out there. It now comes down to whether we can get people listening. We know our numbers are growing. We just have to make enough to keep it sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coppock, Volkman, Sohn and Markos will tape their podcasts next week from the Food For Thought tent at the 35th annual Taste of Chicago in Grant Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
