After some vacation and the departure of our radio show on KXnO, the Register's Chad Leistikow and Tyler Tachman are back together for a fresh episode of Hawk Central after an action-packed Wednesday in Hawkeye sports. Chad and Tyler break down what they've seen so far from Iowa men's basketball practice and who are "locks" to make Ben McCollum's rotation. We also talk receivers and quarterbacks in football after some interesting interviews.
In this raw and reflective episode of Old Man Strength, Chris Shipley sits down with Sean Roberts — the longtime voice of Des Moines sports radio at KXNO. Sean opens up about his unlikely journey from the Chicago suburbs with Navy dreams to Grandview University baseball and broadcasting, rising from board op to afternoon host and Program Director.He shares the shock and surprising relief of the recent end of his KXNO chapter, how meeting his wife Kaylee at Beer Can Alley changed everything, raising their son Miles, and the powerful life lessons from his late father — including the unforgettable sixth-grade baseball benching story that taught him about being a teammate over being the star.Sean talks old-school vs. modern parenting, what “Old Man Strength” really means, and why supporting local advertisers is the key to keeping real sports talk alive in Iowa.Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios and powered by Revelton Distilling Company.Sponsored by: Revelton Distilling Company, Iowa Beef Steakhouse, Jenny Farrell – RE/MAX Concepts, and Styled by JJ Boutique.Drop a comment with your favorite Sean Roberts memory or what you want to hear from him next.

Ross is a Des Moines native, and after graduating from East High school in the metro, wasn't exactly sure what was next. He talks about how he found his way into the radio business and got behind the mic, which has now led him to his own show called Sports Fanatics during the 3-6 hours on KXNO in Des Moines, Iowa. We discuss plenty more of his background, some similarities of the podcast/radio fields of entertainment, we talk Iowa football and some expectations surrounding this season, and of course touch on some of our Iowa State Fair highlights, as this episode was recorded in person at the Crystal Studios on the fairgrounds.
