0:00.0 | Hey everyone, this is Chuck Arfine, and this is the White Sox Talk podcast, brought to you as always by WinTrust. |
0:14.4 | Jason Benetti and I both got our broadcasting careers started very early in our lives, and frankly, by sheer luck, |
0:23.3 | thanks to where we grew up. We both went to Home and Flausmore High School in the south |
0:28.4 | suburbs of Chicago, where they had a student-run radio station and TV station and a four-year |
