  • 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.

  • 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!
