Jack Caglione’s HR Surge, Shifting Media Landscapes with Dave Gorn, & Local Golf Icon Wayne Frede...

We turn the spotlight onto one of our own as we celebrate Art Haines being named the 2025 Missouri Co-Broadcaster of the Year by the National Sports Media Association. NSMA Executive Director Dave Gorn stops by to discuss the award's historic legacy, the voting procedures, and how local sports journalism has undergone a major technological and corporate shift. Later in the hour, our hosts dig into local media challenges, detailing the evolution of sports reporting and the blurring lines between straight coverage and opinion pieces. We also share our hot takes on the surging Kansas City Royals, analyzing rookie Jack Caglione's monstrous June home run streak and how they are winning without Bobby Witt and Vinny Pasquantino. Finally, we launch our weekly Ozarks Legends series with 64-year-old amateur golfer Wayne Frederick, who shares incredible stories from his Glendale and SMS playing days, alongside a hilarious story of how local legend Sam Reynolds drastically fixed his short game.
