The Midnight Special
Saturdays from 10-Midnight on KUAR 89.1

The Midnight Special is a unique weekly series featuring songs, silliness, and show tunes.

Original and offbeat, this Saturday night romp presents fresh new singer-songwriters alongside well-known artists who have played at Chicago area clubs, concert venues, festivals, and on the comedy scene. Inclusive, high-energy, and always entertaining, The Midnight Special offers listeners a lively potpourri of folk songs, ballads and blues, showtunes, spoken word, and hilarious novelty routines. Escape into the stories, experience the emotions, and let loose with a good guffaw whenever you tune in. Get onboard with past playlists and archive programs at wfmt.com/programs/the-midnight-special/.

Marilyn Rea Beyer is the host. She began in 2020, following the retirement of Rich Warren, who began hosting the program in 1983. The Midnight Special first aired in 1953 with Mike Nichols as host.
