There's Just Something About Kansas City

Frank Boal: Turning the Tables on a Kansas City Legend


Listen Later

In this special episode of There’s Just Something About Kansas City, the tables are turned as Executive Director—and Frank’s wife—Sarah McEnerney-Boal steps into the host chair to interview the man behind the mic.

Frank opens up about his remarkable journey before Kansas City ever entered the picture: the unlikely and hilarious story of his recruitment to Villanova, the tough decision that broke his mother’s heart when he turned down Notre Dame, and the high draft lottery number that kept him out of the Vietnam War—and the complicated emotions that followed.

From there, Sarah guides Frank through the twists that shaped his career: the moment he walked away from coaching and into broadcasting, his stint as a DJ on the West Coast, his unexpected chapter in Green Bay, and the move that ultimately brought him home to Kansas City sports.

Listeners will also get a more personal side of Frank—his love of hiking 14ers, the golf community that grounds him, reflections on raising his kids, and the true origin story of the podcast he and Sarah built together. He even shares who his dream guests would be (and why).

Warm, candid, and full of stories he’s never shared on mic before, this episode is a rare chance to hear Frank Boal in a new light—and to understand how this podcast continues to keep him curious, energized, and young at heart.
