His son, Travis, provided a connection and background on this local legend. He lived up to the hype. Sharp and media savvy, this 93-year-old Illini sports expert is a true icon. 

 Listen as this Kentucky born, raised Monticello Sage, University of Illinois grad and media legend talks playing sports, covering sports, his early and current jobs in journalism, uncovering controversial stories in our town, making enemies and making friends, the best lunch spot in Champaign, thoughts on retirement, family, ego and the secrets to longevity. He lives and breathes the Illini. I was nervous for this interview, intimidated. It was an honor and a privilege.

I am adding video podcasting to my repertoire of mediums. During this transition, I have banked a batch of episodes in the new studio. The infrastructure and powers that be aren't quite ready. If you want to listen to the audio version as normal, NOTHING will change for you. However, if you want to WATCH the full-length podcast, that option will now be available. In the meantime, stay with me and listen to these still relevant recordings of the HyperLocal(s) Podcast.

Thank you so much for listening! However your podcast host of choice allows, please positively: rate, review, comment and give all the stars! Don’t forget to follow, subscribe, share and ring that notification bell so you know when the next episode drops!
