Former Congressman Joe Walsh has a new gig, and it starts Monday, March 18 on the AM dial.

Walsh, who lost the 8th congressional district race to Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth in November, 2012, will be the host of Joe Walsh Unplugged weekdays from 7 a.m. until 9 a.m. on the WIND-AM 560 radio station, according to Robert Feder of Time Out Chicago. The 8th District is north and west of the Niles and Morton Grove area. 

Walsh's new show will be the third one grown locally on the station, behind Big John Howell and Amy Jacobson during morning drive and Steve Cochran in the afternoons. 

Walsh still has not ruled out a future run for office, and said of his new opportunity, "People either love me or hate me and I suppose that will make for good radio," Feder reported.
