This edition of the Life of Fitz podcast features host Tim Fitzgerald calling his colleague Tom Keegan in Boston. Tom is now the sports columnist at the Boston Herald, but he and Fitz go back to not long after he was named sports editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, where he covered the University of Kansas. The Lawrence cable channel wanted to launch of new locally-driven sports talk show called The Drive and they were part of the four-person cast. Four became three and then five years ago WIBW-13 in Topeka bought the show and pared the cast down to just the two of them. Then in the fall of 2018 Tom took a new job and jetted off to Boston, but not before the two friends recorded more than 350 weekly episodes of the show together.
