WBEZ Names Three Guest Hosts for ‘In the Loop’ During Permanent-Host Search

WBEZ has named three of its journalists to rotate as guest hosts of In the Loop while it searches for a permanent successor to Sasha-Ann Simons.

City Hall reporter Mariah Woelfel hosts in November, engagement reporter Araceli Gómez-Aldana takes December, and Curious City editor Susie An follows in January, the station said in its November 6 announcement. Simons’ final broadcast was that day.

The weekday news and conversation program airs at 9 a.m. Central on Chicago’s WBEZ 91.5, with episodes available through the station’s website and app. The assignments are temporary hosting rotations; the announcement does not name a permanent replacement.
