Big Dreams Become Great Realities
This year's rebounding edition of Sporting Kansas City has a big one Sunday, making it a perfect time for an enjoyable revisit of our fascinating conversation with Matt Besler from last year. The SKC and USMNT star takes us from youth soccer through retirement with great stories and personalities.
Soccer Passion Here, There, and Everywhere
The Director of Communications for Sporting Kansas City has loved the game from youth, and taken his enthusiasm for the game through Mizzou, to myriad professional roles, and taken in World Cups all over the globe. A enjoyable and revealing conversation.
Summit Meetings and Big Stages
Rolling out another lively romp. Chiefs-Bengals showdown, bigtime Big 12 title tilt for K-State, U.S. World Cup preview, and other deep dives. Dig in and enjoy!
Excursions and Diversions
The banter boys have been busy with memorable journeys to California and Germany respectively. Lively takes on that and beer rankings, Negro League baseball, Chiefs history, World Cup, contrasting travel luxuries, the ever demanded fact check, and more. Salut!
In the Midst Of It All
As we approach World Cup 2022, a reprise of one of my original podcasts, set in multiple spots in England in 2018 with the nation immersed in British national team mania for Cup 2018 as I started a European vacation.
Wide Worlds of Sports
It’s Father’s Day Weekend and the banter battle has big events left and right to dive into. World Cup, World Champs, NBA greats arguments, U.S. Open, and….well, then there’s the Royals. Toss in trivia and laughs for good measure!
Camping, Vamping, and Having Fun
Rolling out the usual fun, facts, games and laughs. Concerts, anniversaries, food, films, music, church camp, the beer ratings, sports, and lots of other manic detours in a laugh-filled mix. Salut!
From Youth Star to Franchise Icon With a Smile
An engaging and enjoyable conversation with the Overland Park native who exceeded even his own dreams in moving from youth star, to All-American, to star status with Sporting KC, and as a key member of the U.S. national team. Many great stories all along the way. Enjoy!
A Kansas City Energy Center
Now a decade in as the CEO and president of the Kansas City Sports Commission, Kathy continues to make an impact on her city, which she has done in myriad ways since she was a young girl. Proof positive that ambition can come in a very pleasant package, hers is a fascinating and fun tale.
A Single Minded Drive to Succeed and Lead
A fascinating conversation with an American success story as Peter Vermes
talks about his upbringing in the home of first generation parents who fled oppression to
build a life for their family. A soccer prodigy with a deep passion for the game which comes
plainly across with humor and honesty.
