Angie Gillenwater from the Kanawha Charleston Humane Association with this week's "Adopt Me Please" Pet of the Week, Charleston City Manager Ben Mishoe on Live on the Levee, and Jay Silverman with the Charleston Dirty Birds.

Carl Lee and Hollis Lewis open with a candid conversation on the World Cup and soccer's growing appeal among fans who grew up with football, basketball, and baseball — breaking down the athleticism, footwork, and tactical sophistication they've come to appreciate. The show shifts to the NBA's explosive offseason, covering major trades involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brown, LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George, and whether LeBron James should pursue one final championship run or step away on top. The final and most substantive segment takes on brain trauma in football — prompted by Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis — with Carl and Hollis debating CTE prevalence, the NFL's delayed response to player safety, the case for eliminating or delaying youth tackle football, and whether annual cognitive testing should become standard at every level of the sport from little league to the pros.

Dave Allen opens a Wednesday edition of 580 Live with the cast and music director of Parade, a PG-13 musical based on the true story of Leo Frank's wrongful conviction in early 1900s Georgia, opening July 10th at the Alban Arts Center in St. Albans. Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards joins to preview an America 250 live street reading of the Declaration of Independence on Main Street, with actor Ashley Stennett appearing in period costume in front of 1776 Books and Coffee. Allen also covers an upcoming community meeting at St. Albans High School aimed at rallying support for a football program that has struggled to field enough players, and closes with news of a $5.4 million roundabout project at the I-64 Institute exit — and the predictably strong listener reaction it generates.

Auto buyer Larry Dawson joins Dale Cooper by phone from a traffic jam on I-64 before making it into the studio to cover the latest in used car buying and selling in the Kanawha Valley. Dawson recounts a recent deal where a seller chose him over Carvana after discovering the online platform charged a $400 pickup fee — making Dawson's offer effectively $1,000 more competitive. He details his house-call approach to buying vehicles, including a visit to a Kanawha City homeowner who couldn't leave due to caregiving responsibilities. The conversation turns to a listener question about a suspicious private sale involving a third-party seller and a below-market price, which Dawson identifies as a likely title-jumping scheme. He closes with a cautionary account of a complicated and-or title dispute that required court intervention and insurance company involvement to resolve, and advises parents placing a lien on vehicles they purchase for young family members as a protective measure.
