Looking Back and Standing In
Usually this Wednesday space is reserved for “Danny and Tim’s Music Scene”. I’m still on the DL for a few more days, so check out any archived episodes, and this special reprise of our tremendous Profiles conversation back when we started up the podcast. Revealing and filled with personal tales and big name interactions. Enjoy!
Decades of Sports Broadcasting Excellence
A holiday weekend treat for you as we revisit our conversation with Kevin Harlan from earlier this year. He just celebrated his 500th CBS NFL broadcast this past weekend, the latest milestone in an unbelievable career chronicled here. A real treat of a conversation!
Historical Perspectives and a Personal Path
An enjoyable conversation with the former reporter for the Kansas City Star, and currently senior writer for The Athletic, and now the co-author with Mark Dent of "Kingdom Quarterback". The book has dual narratives combining KC history along with the story of the Chiefs star QB. An engaging chat about Rustin's life and times and the new project.
A Remarkable Sports and Medical Journey
An amazing conversation with the KC native who was an accomplished young athlete who career was derailed by injuries, creating a new path on orthopedic surgery and sports medicine. He has worked with the NFL and Chiefs, Sporting KC, the KC current, U.S. Men's national team, while maintaining a thriving private practice. A fascinating story of perseverance and dedication.
A Positive Attitude and Dogged Determination Prevail
Growing up in Iowa, Minnesota, and Kansas through changes and challenges, Gary’s work ethic and perseverance fueled a career as a meteorologist that just concluded after almost thirty years at KCTV5. Amiably told and fascinating.
Teamwork and Tenacity
The Salina native grew up farming and playing sports, using lessons from both to fuel a distinguished career in sports administration at colleges large and small. From KU to Rockhurst to Benedictine making a difference for student athletes is his calling.
Different Roles, Same Goals
A fabulous opportunity to catch up with Sam Mellinger in his new role as Royals Vice President of Communications, and to revisit our wonderful profile conversation. As expected, honest, emotional, witty and compelling then and now.
From Jayhawk Basketball to Business Success In a Topsy Turvy Ride
A McDonald’s All-American from California who came to KU and had successes and travails, a star-crossed pro career, and now has found new challenges and accomplishments in the business world. A fascinating journey enjoyably told.
Relationships a Keynote to High-Level Coaching Success
Motivated and focused from an early age, Kelly has been a success story as a player and coach at every level. A star quarterback at Harrisonville HS and then on to KU, he then took his leadership skills into coaching, where he has been a success at every stop.
Spanning the Globe to Say The Least
On and off the field gigantic stories, and one faux controversy. Sporting Kansas City is white hot, the Royals are unexpectedly hot, conference realignment bubbles, and so does a silly tweet as Chiefs camp warms up. The Olympics and more to boot.
