Zach Wygal is a guy every small town would hope to have. As promised, I said this podcast was about Interesting People with a story or people talking about Interesting Events and Happenings. Zach fits both of those categories. Many know Zach from his work with #StampOutCancer, but he is also instrumental to the Montgomery County area for other things as well. We talk about just a few, his career as a special ed teacher, Imagine Hillsboro, the Hillsboro Summer Concert Series, and Music Buffs Unite Trivia. We also get into why Spotify & GI Joe mean so much to him as well. 

Emily Schneider (5:15) is a small town girl with big dreams. John asks Emily about her funny family, her theater career, her time studying at Second City in Chicago, and about her brief appearance on Jimmy Fallon's show. She's a total blast to listen to, and gets John to do some improv. Also, a new segment you will be sure to love. John's neighbor,

Rack joins the podcast in a new segment titled 'The RackAlmanac' (34:40) to get you ready for spring and gardening season! If John is like Tim Taylor on Home Improvement with his own show...

Tim Boostrom went after his childhood dream to play ball with his heroes. He went to baseball fantasy camp. He tells us about What's That Like! Tim describes the cost, the process, how it works, and the fun he has playing ball. Then we talk about the former players who act as coaches, his personal Ryne Sandberg moment, the celeb sightings, the crazy baseball stories you have never heard, and much more. Its a great discussion on something you have never probably heard about before. 

I bring you my long time friend Jason Kramer as he trains for his 13th Boston Marathon. We talk about growing up in Staunton, IL, listening to Van Halen's 5150, the Beasties, running HS Track, and then him taking on the granddaddy of all foot races, the Boston Marathon. Jason runs for the Alzheimer's Association, and you can donate to his team in their goal for a "World Without Alzheimer's" https://www.crowdrise.com/alzheimersassociationboston2017/fundraiser/jasonkramer1

Bobby Krug is a man with a plan! Many in the area may know Bob from his YouTube.com/ATANetwork channel where he vLogs and documented most of his and his classmates HS career... But today, we talk to Bob about his new passion. Kart Racing at the Gateway Kartplex in Madison, IL.
