Our Daily Show! With Cj!: Ft. Eugene Jones Baldwin, Four Magic Productions, and More!

Start your Monday morning with all things local on Our Daily Show!

At 9:20 AM, Alton native Eugene Jones Baldwin, MA DePaul University, joins us for an in-depth conversation about his remarkable career as a playwright, poet, journalist, and oral historian. Eugene has taught at DePaul, performed as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, and seen his work produced Off-Broadway. We’ll discuss his newest book, There Is No Color In Justice, which delves into civil rights struggles of the 1950s, racism, the Underground Railroad, and the powerful stories of Black soldiers in the World Wars.

Then, at 10:10 AM, Tony Loving joins us from Four Magic Productions LLC, a theatrical production company bringing live magic theater to communities across the Midwest. We’ll explore how Tony’s company partners with local magicians to create unforgettable performances and inspire small-town audiences through the art of illusion.

It’s storytelling and magic — only on Our Daily Show!
