The Chicago Sports Spectacular is a show that takes place 2 times a year at the Donald E. Stephans Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. It typically features many sports and entertainment autograph opportunities plus fields a health vendor area for card and sports collectible seekers, plus of late, more places to submit cards and autos for authentication and grading. At the show I got to catch up with with some old friends and vendors to gauge the hobby and show: Andrew ‘Augie’ Augustine - A teacher who has been on the show before and sells an eclectic range of collectibles as a side gig. Sal Barry - Hockey card seller and one part of the Puck Junk podcast team and writes about the hockey card hobby.

STAR WARS PODCAST DAY 2026, an unofficial celebration of the Star Wars fan audio community. Every year this event brings together approximately 100 shows, sharing their love of fan made audio with other Star Wars fans, as well as the wider podcast listening audience. Think of it as our own little version of May the Fourth.

Why on February 7th? That was the day Jedi Talk, the very first Star Wars podcast premiered way back in 1999.

So in tonight’s show, the format is a little different, and iI welcome Das Davies back to the program.
