About this listen

 Welcome to Bub’s Pub, the podcast where the conversation flows as freely as the beer (BYOB!). Join host Dan ”Bub” Drews and his rotating cast of characters, including regular Brennen Roberts, as they dive headfirst into the kind of chats you’d overhear at your favorite neighborhood watering hole. If you’re a Chicagoan navigating the wild world of sports (Go Bears? Go Cubs?), the latest flicks, shows, books, the joys (and occasional terrors) of fatherhood, and maybe even some grown-up business talk (without getting too serious), then pull up a virtual stool. We’re serving up opinions, laughs, and maybe even a little unsolicited advice, all with a distinctly Chicago suburban flavor. So grab your beverage of choice and join the Bub’s Pub crew! It’s like hanging out with your buddies, without having to leave the house.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Politics & Government
