Episode 5: Julie Maxwell

97X, podcast

The Queen of the Breakfast Club

Abe Froman may be the Sausage King of Chicago (per Ferris Bueller) but he can’t hold a candle to Julie Maxwell, who co-hosted the 97X “Breakfast Club” morning show for many years, and also served as the station’s promotions manager. If you ever scored concert tickets, prizes or station swag, Julie probably had a hand in it. Dave and Damian chat with her about Outdoor Underwear Festivals, Sinead O’Connor box cutters and her favorite co-host.
