Today at 12noon, join us right here for another episode of our local, live-chat show “The Lunchbox.” We gather the best and brightest media analysts and commentators to riff off the news of the day. We also have special guests. Best part? It’s a chat. You don’t have to download anything, press play or wait for anything to buffer. And you can join in.

Today’s chat will feature the news of the day, as well as a discussion about this year’s SXSW festival. The music portion of the fest begins as the interactive and film portions wind down. We will have Sound Opinions’ host Jim DeRogatis here talking local music and taking your questions.

Todays panel: Kevin Pang (Chicago Tribune), Jesse Thorn (Sound of Young America), Madeline Nusser (Timeout Chicago), Brad Flora (Windy Citizen), Stephen Schmidt (Schadenfreude), and our very own producer Andrew Gill (live from SXSW).

12 noon today – right here at blogs.vocalo.org.
