Sometimes we have some really great guests on the radio show. We had Pat Summitt, the Tennessee women’s basketball coach. We talked to former Detroit Tigers play-by-play man Ernie Harwell. Tomorrow, we’re talking to the voice of the Royals, Denny Matthews, at 10:05. I love baseball announcers. A lot of it is because that’s what I wanted to do as a kid. I wanted to be the next Jack Buck or Harry Caray.
It will be a real treat to visit with Denny, whose voice is identifiable with more than 30 years of Royals baseball. I hope everybody tunes in.
Then, on Wednesday, I leave for Tulsa to cover the PGA with our golf writer, Scott Paske. That’s a good gig, one I’m looking forward to.

Better hope the media tent has airconditioning.
In complete sincerity, what do you feel are the aspects of the LPA gig in Tulsa that add up to ‘good’? My expectations of live golf coverage for the on-site observer is brief moments of applause interrupted by very long periods of boredom. Of course, not having experienced the media side, my perceptions are likely skewed.
Does your experience include extensive interface with players, action and compatriots?
