  • Big Fan of Kevin Wheeler

    I’ve been listening to Kevin Wheeler for close to a decade. I really enjoyed his work at 101ESPN, and I was thrilled to see him catch back on with a local station earlier last year. Whenever one of his shows is available in Podcast form, I listen. Sharpest, most level-headed baseball mind out there.

    If Hrabe is not talking baseball, look out. The lack of hockey knowledge immediately stands out, you can tell when someone doesn't care about hockey and only likes the most boring sport on earth baseball.

  • Great resource for Cardinals information

    This is a great recap of those shows, and as an out of town listener, I appreciate the chance to hear the news, interviews and recently the past season recaps. Especially needed in this time w/o games!
