The nightly program has been a fixture on KMOX for many years and features a variety of hosts.
The Sports Open Line podcast has been a staple in my listening rotation for the past decade. Hosted by the incredibly knowledgeable and level-headed Kevin Wheeler, this show is a must-listen for sports enthusiasts like myself. I first became a fan of Wheeler's work during his time at 101ESPN, and I was thrilled to see him catch on with a local station last year. The podcast format allows me, as an out-of-town listener, to keep up with the latest news, interviews, and season recaps even when I can't tune into the live broadcasts. Especially during times without games, this podcast has been a much-needed source of sports updates and analysis.
One of the best aspects of The Sports Open Line podcast is Kevin Wheeler himself. His baseball expertise is unparalleled, making him one of the sharpest minds in the industry. Whether he's discussing current events or dissecting game strategies, Wheeler's insights are always spot-on and thought-provoking. He offers a balanced perspective that takes into account both statistical analysis and intangible factors, providing listeners with a well-rounded understanding of the sports world.
In addition to Kevin Wheeler's expertise, The Sports Open Line podcast also excels in its guest interviews. From professional athletes to coaches to sports analysts, each episode features engaging conversations with influential figures in the sports industry. These interviews provide unique insights and behind-the-scenes stories that enhance my understanding and appreciation for various sports.
While there are countless positives about The Sports Open Line podcast, one drawback is its limited coverage of non-baseball sports. As someone who enjoys following multiple sports, I often find myself wanting more coverage on football, basketball, soccer, and other popular sports. While there are occasional episodes dedicated to these topics, they are less frequent than the baseball-focused episodes.
In conclusion, The Sports Open Line podcast hosted by Kevin Wheeler is an invaluable resource for any avid sports fan. With his sharp mind and level-headed approach, Wheeler provides insightful analysis and thoughtful commentary on the latest sports news and events. The addition of guest interviews further enriches the podcast, offering exclusive perspectives from influential figures in the industry. While there may be a slight bias towards baseball, the overall quality and content of this podcast make it a must-listen for anyone seeking sports updates and analysis.
