Loren Broaddus is a Greenwood history teacher, a baseball fan, and a published poet. He talks to Cooper Juneau about his latest work, due to be published in the spring, which focuses on the Negro Leagues. The book's title, "Wasn't Any Maybe So," actually comes from a quote by the great Satchel Paige. The poems reflect on many aspects of the Negro Leagues through the fictionlized thoughts of Kansas City Monarchs star Newt Allen, who in real life played for the Monarchs for over 20 years.

Broaddus's 2018 book of poetry was titled, "Joe DiMaggio Moves Like Liquid Light."

Asher Nelson and Cooper Juneau talk turkey--literally--as they cover their top five Thanksgiving traditions on the latest edition of our never-take-us-serious show, "Chirps." The boys also touch on the Chiefs' season so far (bleh) and their excitement about new season of "Stranger Things" which is just around the corner. The also lament the absense of fellow podcaster Joe Whitaker, who has been under the weather. Spoiler: Joe is back in class now, feeling much better. Expect him on the next "Chirps."

Corbin Collins visits the JAYTALK booth to talk about being a teenager speeding around the track in a Mustang Dark Horse R, a car capable of generating more than 500 horsepower. Corbin competed in the 2025 Ford Mustang Challenge, sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). His visit with reporter Cooper Juneau takes listeners inside the fast-paced world of motor sports, all from the perspective of a driver who will not graduate high school until the spring of 2027.

The first episode of Chirps is here. With Halloween around the corner, we do a blind ranking of candy that often lands in your trick-or-treat bags, then ask some Greenwood folks about the first movie that scared them. Of course our panel of Asher, Cooper and Joe add their own skin-crawling cinema memories. We also have podcasting's shortest sports discussion. Please do not expect to learn much of anything on this show. Just come along for the ride.
