Bonus Episode: Chicago Film Critic Nick Digilio (40 Years, 40 Films - LIVE)

My first live podcast recording! Author/film critic/podcaster Nick Digilio sold out the community room at the Rogers Park Branch library in Chicago to talk all about his new book and memoir, 40 YEARS 40 FILMS.

I wouldn't love film the way I do if it weren't for Nick and his support, talent and knowledge.

As most of you know, one of the reasons I got into film was by listening to AM talk radio and one critic in particular. Author/film critic podcaster Nick Digilio recently sold out the community room at the Rogers Park Branch library in Chicago to talk all about his new book and memoir, 40 YEARS 40 FILMS. I asked questions, played movie clips, celebrated an accomplished Chicago legend that has meant a lot to me in so many ways these past 30+ years. This was an absolute honor for me.

Thank you to Sharon for coming to the rescue by filming the video last minute which you can view at the link below as an alternative to the audio. Oodles of gratitude to all the patrons, fans, friends and CPL staff for their support and accommodation. Huge congrats to Nick for another great success with this book and for the over 40 years of reviewing films with passion! Thanks everyone for listening!
