  • My Zone 7

    Mac takes each case and shines the lights on the person/s involved and the challenges and rewards of each. She has knowledgeable professionals skilled at finding the needle in the haystack everyone misses. I leave each time filled with answers to questions I didn’t know I had. Her richly described images bring every scene to life almost like I’m walking along side looking for clues to the case. Never a dull podcast, ever. Great work, awesome person Mac is the best.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Lawrence O'Malley in The Zone 7-17-26
Q: He started golfing recently and after about 50 swings, his hand locks up for the next few days like trigger finger. Is he damaging his hand and should he have it checked out?
Yes, and it would be prudent to have a hand surgeon evaluate it; injections are possible, and if surgery is needed, recovery is relatively short and straightforward.
Tom Murphy in The Zone 7-17-26
Q: What did Tom Murphy think about Arkansas' defense and roster moves?
Murphy suggested that Arkansas could have a defensive-led season with improved pass rush and depth, aided by Ron Roberts' track record and some new contributors in the secondary and linebacking corps.
