Today I randomly discovered Lin Brehmer, who was a beloved local radio host on WXRT; he passed away in 2023 prematurely from cancer, two years ago today.
He had a segment called “Lin’s Bin” where he answered listener questions with long, poetic essays.
One of the episodes of The Bear opens with him introducing a Sufjan Stevens song, to a montage of Chicago street scenes and historical moments.
He called himself “your very best friend in the world.”
The Lin’s Bin archives are on Audacy.
