Ramie Is Burning




 
Ramie Makhlouf produces The Big Show (weekdays 2-6p) & The Usinger's Baseball Post-Game Show on Sportsradio 1250 WSSP.  He is the resident "Chicago Guy" at the station, but just tries to "call 'em like he sees 'em," Saturdays from 2-4p.  Think of the show as the Sportsradio equivalent of "Wrigley North" without the fighting drunks.

More About The Show
Ramie Is Burning is a great place to have fun and enjoy Milwaukee sports, which is the focus, but at the same time - a safe haven for Chicago transplants and sports fans of all kinds. We try to keep things loose and fun, keep nothing off-limits, and hold even less sacred.  So put aside your pre-conceived notions of Chicago Sports fans, and Sportsradio for that matter, and sit back, listen, and enjoy!  Oh yeah... and feel free to be a "Burner" via the phones, e-mail, text, Twitter, & Facebook.
