Our Team

Greg Silva

Creator and Heavenly Host of the SRP Radio Podcast. And by Heavenly, we don’t mean that he’s any kind of dreamboat mystery date. He’s too humble for all that. It’s just a silly pun, referencing the show’s sacred content. And by sacred, we don’t mean that it isn’t sometimes profane.

Jan the Man

Professor Jan Arnold holds a masters degree in Sociology from the University of Chicago, with an emphasis in Psycho-Linguistics (which literally means “crazy talk”). And when we say he holds a degree, we mean he holds it every minute of every day — in bed, in the shower, while driving, etc. He teaches psychology and philosophy here in Chicago at various community colleges and online universities.

Myron the Street Poet

A retired Rogue Trader, Myron now lives off and on at the Pacific Garden Mission. When we say retired, we mean that he made a deal with the SEC and the FBI to give up his Financial License in exchange for not going to jail. He claims he suffered a stroke as a result of the stress of all this. But some people think he’s faking it to collect disability. He sells knock-off jewelry and electronics from China, and is known on the streets for being able to get just about anything (video games, iPhones, tickets to “Hamilton”) within 24 hours.

Dr. Bonmoe

The stage name of retired college text book editor, David Pendleton Syngen-Bottom. These days, Dr. Bonmoe spends as much time as possible teaching Scribbage to the baristas at various Argo Tea locations. And when we say baristas, we mean the young female ones. He’s bringing old-man-sexy back!

Kissonia Marvel

Has worked in Chicago’s Food & Beverage Industry for 15 years. She’s now an Event Coordinator in the South Loop. She and her husband are proud foster parents in Englewood. And when we say Englewood, we’re talking about a neighborhood where bullets fly every night.

Paul Saputo

Lives in Melrose Park and produces video games. He spends his spare time working out at the East Bank Club and partying at the Horseshoe Casino. And by partying, we mean that he overtips everyone — the doormen, dealers, cocktail waitresses, and pit bosses, despite their embarrassed protests — which typically insures that he gets a free room and a companion for the night.

Our Serials

Everyday Power Struggles

Everyday Power thumbThis is where the REAL fight is. Politics is rooted in the everyday power struggles of our ordinary relationships. At work and at home. And most people don’t know this. They think politics is something that happens in big white buildings.

Out Of Poverty

Out of poverty thumbOne man’s journey through the Great Recession of 2008. A how-to manual on starting over from scratch. A guidebook on climbing out of poverty.

Why I Stopped Going To Church

Why I stopped church thumbA view from the pew. From the 1960s through the 80s. What it was like watching modern American Evangelicalism turn old-time religion into big business, as well as a lobby group for the Republican party.

Adventures In Nekkidness

Adventinnekkid thumbNekkidness is different from nakedness, or even nudity. To be naked is clinical. To be nude is artistic. To be nekkid is to be naughty.

Rants Raps Poetry

Poetry thumbSome things are too powerful to view directly. Like the sun. Or God. That’s why we have poetry.
