On this episode we consider the life and art of R&B superstar R. Kelly. Helping with this Big Mac sized task are Chicago artists and scholars Jake Austen, Christy LeMaster and Edward Crouse who all particpated in R Kelly 101 along side our own Jenny Benevento. The event was sponsored by Homeroom Chicago. You’ll learn about his days in high school choir, how McDonald’s is his happy place, what he eats on set, and what R Kelly has in common with Wagner.
