Podcasts about Southern Illinois

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! What is there to say that hasn't already been said about South Dakota's 24-17 win over South Dakota State on Saturday, or already been written in columns like this one by Matt Zimmer or this one by John Gaskins?As it turns out, of course, plenty.In their weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast from Gibs Sports Bar in Sioux Falls, Zim and John sink their teeth into the following aftermatch topics:* Are both teams now playoff-worthy at seven wins apiece, no matter what happens in the No. 17 Coyotes' final game at No. 21 Southern Illinois on Saturday, or the No. 16 Jackrabbits' two games remaining against No. 14 Illinois State and at No. 13 North Dakota?* Why does Zim feel USD has what it takes to go on a run and contend for the national championship?* For that matter, what can SDSU's ceiling still be, with or without Chase Mason?* Would SDSU have won the game if Chase Mason had played?* How can the Jacks win either or both of their last two games if Chase Mason doesn't return?* How do we look at NDSU and UND after the Fighting Sioux almost took down the Bison?* Should Jacks fans be upset about the coaching this year, particularly the last three games?* How do we now look at the final season of Aidan Bouman and his USD legacy no matter what?* How do we see the Missouri Valley Football Conference's quality now that we've seen several Top 25 teams play each other close?* Is NDSU still head-and-shoulders above the rest of the Valley, if not the entire FCS?Then, some words about Augustana and University of Sioux Falls suffering blowout home losses in the snow. How much do those losses hurt the Div. II Sioux Falls teams' postseason picture?Next, a review of the wins for No. 1 Brandon Valley and No. 2 Lincoln in the Class 11AAA state semifinals, setting up a rematch of last year's championship game, where the Patriots repeated as champions.Will it be a Lincoln three-peat? Mark Gronowski continued to rip off monster runs and even had a couple clutch passes in Iowa's 18-16 loss to Oregon. Is Tim Tebow (Light) a fair comparison for what the former Jackrabbit has brought to Iowa City? Even further, have the Hawkeyes wasted Gronowski's arm and throwing ability by becoming so run-heavy? Finally, an examination of the wild pendulum swings of J.J. McCarthy. After a dagger-throwing, season-saving win in Detroit, the Vikings quarterback regressed to rookie mode in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, but how much was he really to blame? How much slack should we cut him and how much time should we give him?And we dare bring it up — can we now say things would have gone better if Minnesota signed Aaron Rodgers? 

On the other side of auroras in Southern Illinois, Jonny and Heather dive into some weird stories--like the aurora, things they thought they would never see, at least not down here. In the front half of the show they review the more typical good and bad news for the LGBTQ+ community under the current regime. In the back half of the show they dive into the truly strange, not all of it having to do with more released Epstein information.

What if the best gift you could give your team this Christmas is permission to be themselves? Join guests Heather Kenny—ministry coach—and Rob Dyer—senior pastor and comedian from Southern Illinois—as they join host Renée to discuss how leaders can navigate the holiday paradox: the busiest season that also offers unexpected breathing room, where authenticity matters more than performance. Discover how to support team members through grief, protect your own grounding practices when schedules tighten, actually listen without planning your pastoral response, and receive Christ's peace instead of trying to manufacture it for everyone else. Your presence matters far more than your performance this season. Full Show Notes

Grab your torches, your questionable treasure maps, and maybe a chisel or two (for research purposes), because this week Hysteria 51 returns with regular episodes as we digs into Burrows Cave — Southern Illinois' most controversial cavern of supposed mysteries. From alleged ancient tablets to world-changing artifacts no one can ever seem to produce on command, this saga has everything: secret chambers, wild treasure legends, feuding researchers, and enough fringe archaeology to make Indiana Jones ask for a transfer.Brent, David, and Conspiracy Bot tunnel into the strange history, the skeptical takedowns, the die-hard believers, and the many, many reasons this cave might be more fiction than fossil record. But hey — that never stopped us before.Is Burrows Cave a hidden archaeological jackpot, an elaborate hoax, or just the Midwest being the Midwest? Grab your hard hat and find out as we descend into one of America's weirdest underground mysteries.Special thanks to this week's research sources:BooksBurrows, Russell E., and Fred Rydholm.

Utopian Genderscapes: Rhetorics of Women's Work in the Early Industrial Age (Southern Illinois UP, 2021) focuses on three prominent yet understudied intentional communities—Brook Farm, Harmony Society, and the Oneida Community—who in response to industrialization experimented with radical social reform in the antebellum United States. Foremost among the avenues of reform was the place and substance of women's work. Author Michelle C. Smith seeks in the communities' rhetorics of teleology, choice, and exceptionalism the lived consequences of the communities' lofty goals for women members. This feminist history captures the utopian reconfiguration of women's bodies, spaces, objects, and discourses and delivers a needed intervention into how rhetorical gendering interacts with other race and class identities. The attention to each community's material practices reveals a gendered ecology, which in many ways squared unevenly with utopian claims. Nevertheless, this volume argues that this utopian moment inaugurated many of the norms and practices of labor that continue to structure women's lives and opportunities today: the rise of the factory, the shift of labor from home spaces to workplaces, the invention of housework, the role of birth control and childcare, the question of wages, and the feminization of particular kinds of labor. An impressive and diverse array of archival and material research grounds each chapter's examination of women's professional, domestic, or reproductive labor in a particular community. Fleeting though they may seem, the practices and lives of those intentional women, Smith argues, pattern contemporary divisions of work along the vibrant and contentious lines of gender, race, and class and stage the continued search for what is possible.

In this week's Akem's Analysis, I talk about some of the biggest games that happened in FCS football this weekend. To start, we look at the big-time win that Sacramento State had at home against the Northern Colorado Bears. Both teams were 3-3 going into the game, and the winner now has a chance to become a playoff team with the right luck. We also look at 2 games in the MVFC, UND vs SIU, and Illinois State vs YSU. Both games had big performances, but none bigger than Beau Brundgard, who is looking like a serious Walter Payton candidate. He absolutely put the team on his back. At the end, I get into some No Huddle Notes, and in that segment, I start by giving my thoughts on the comments of Sac State's president, Dr. Luke Wood. Following that, I talk about some of the big storylines from the weekend, so stay tuned in for the whole episode.SPORTS BET MONTANA LINK: https://sportsbetmontana.com/en0:00 - Intro2:30 - Sac State vs Northern Colorado Recap13:13 - Tarleton State vs West Georgia Recap23:13 - North Dakota vs Southern Illinois Recap32:36 - Illinois State vs Youngstown State Recap41:43 - No Huddle Notes41:55 - Dr. Luke Wood Montana Comments 47:39 - What Happened To Idaho?52:04 - Lamar Remains Undefeated Against FCS53:47 - Wofford Defeats Furman54:47 - Incarante Word Falls To 2-556:37 - Harvard Remains Undefeated57:54 - Monmouth Loses Starting QB59:32 - Presbyterian Continues To Dominate1:00:53 - Duquesne Looking to Earn The NEC AQ1:02:31 - Final Thoughts1:04:06 - End

SIU Athletics and Community Engagement: A Vision for GrowthIn this episode of Small Town Big Business, hosts Jennifer Olson and Russell Williams sit down with Tim Leonard, Athletic Director, and Katt Martin, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development, at Southern Illinois University (SIU). They discuss their roles and initiatives within SIU's athletic department, focusing on building infrastructure, fundraising, and community engagement to elevate the programs.

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! Hobo Day hiccup in 2025?Hardly a chance, or so it appears, with No. 2 South Dakota State barging through the second half in Youngstown to improve to 5-0 while 2-3 Northern Iowa stumbled through more growing pains under a new coaching staff in a 35-7 loss to North Dakota.But whenever UNI is listed on SDSU's football schedule as the homecoming opponent, some Jackrabbit fans — especially alumni from 2015 and 2017 — might wince in trauma from past Panther upsets.But is UNI worth any worry this Saturday? Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer has covered the Jacks for a decade and has his thoughts in the latest weekly edition of Happy Hour's "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with John Gaskins.SDSU coach Dan Jackson, in his weekly Happy Hour chat on Monday, conveyed a clear message about what he wants out of Jacks fans on Saturday — strong attempts at the biggest and loudest crowd in Dykhouse Stadium history — and this leads to a discussion about Jackson as the football program's "ambassador" and how natural that unofficial role is for him.Jackson credited his "great program" and "great culture" for the come-from-behind win at then-No. 24 YSU. But was it a great win? Zim and John break down what went wrong in the first half and why SDSU dominated the second half, assess the latest performance from quarterback Chase Mason, and the emerging strength of running back Julius Loughridge and the "605 Hogs" up front.From there, what is there to make of South Dakota's 49-24 win over Murray State, which has lost all of its nine Missouri Valley Conference games since joining the league last season? For at least a game, Travis Johansen was right when he told John last week that his program has too strong of a culture to let the season go off the rails. (Here is Johansen's follow-up chat from Tuesday, with plenty of insight about his defense, penalties, playing violent, and an update on retired predecessor Bob Nielson).The Coyotes have gone "back to the pack" of the rest of the MVFC challengers to NDSU and SDSU's supremacy, but where does USD, UND, Illinois State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State appear to be in the current picture?Then, a recap of the latest, incredible chapter in the "Key to the City" series between backyard rivals Augustana and the University of Sioux Falls in which the Vikings came back from a 28-10 fourth quarter deficit to win 29-28 at USF. While Carson Wentz played "fine" in guiding the Minnesota Vikings to their own fourth quarterback in London in another "boring, nondescript" overseas game, what fascinated Zim more than anything on Sunday morning was Will Reichard's fourth quarter field goal kick that was veered off line by striking a seemingly invisible camera — and how nobody seemed to know what the hell happened for a while.The episode ends with the battle between two native South Dakota head coaches in the WNBA Finals, Nate Tibbetts and Becky Hammon. As John mentioned to start Tuesday's show and Zim wrote in a Wednesday column, this source of Rushmore State pride has been decades in the making, a product of a state that has valued and supported girls and women's basketball since well before other states finally found it fashionable.

Tom Ackerman opens the show with Cardinals baseball as the team closes out the season at Busch Stadium with a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, reinforcing the need for a roster rebuild. From there, the focus shifts to college football, where Missouri picked up a win over South Carolina, Indiana dominated Illinois, and local programs like Lindenwood and Southern Illinois earned attention for their efforts. The conversation then turns to the St. Louis Blues, with preseason action against the Dallas Stars highlighted by Justin Carbonneau's first NHL goal and insight from Head Coach Jim Montgomery. The hour wraps up on the pitch, as St. Louis City SC claimed a key road win over the San Jose Earthquakes behind Brendan McSorley's first career MLS brace, pointing to a promising future for the club.

Tom Ackerman opens with the Cardinals' final home game at Busch Stadium, a loss to the Brewers that highlights the need for a rebuild. He then covers college football, with Missouri's win over South Carolina, Indiana's surprising victory over Illinois, and updates on Lindenwood and Southern Illinois. The conversation shifts to the Blues as Justin Carbonneau nets his first NHL goal in preseason play against Dallas, with insight from Head Coach Jim Montgomery. STL City SC also grabs attention after Brendan McSorley's first MLS brace fuels a road win at San Jose, while SLU Women's Soccer coach Katie Shields discusses her team's strong start and A-10 ambitions. Hour 2 features Tom's weekly NFL picks, followed by a sit-down at Cardinals Nation with David Freese, who relives his iconic 2011 World Series walk-off and shares life after baseball. John Mozeliak reflects on his 30-year Cardinals career, from replacing Albert Pujols to building future talent around players like Jordan Walker. Ackerman and Bernie Miklasz close with Missouri football's playoff potential, debating the Tigers' ranking, schedule strength, and postseason outlook, while also noting Mozeliak's legacy and the leadership transition ahead for the Cardinals.

Gina Hoots joins Cathy to explore where respiratory therapy meets health coaching, especially for people living with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and more. With over 30 years' experience in both clinical and community settings, Gina shares how she combines science and compassion in her work. We dive into practical breathing techniques, the importance of proper inhaler use, integrating nutrition and lifestyle, and coaching strategies that empower clients beyond traditional medicine. The episode also highlights Gina's work with BluZone.Health, her leadership in respiratory care, and how health coaches and respiratory therapists can collaborate to improve outcomes. Expect both deeply technical takeaways and inspiring mindset shifts. In this episode, you'll discover: How Gina's dual roles as a respiratory therapist and health coach allow her to bridge gaps in patient education, care, and quality of life. Specific breathing practices (nose inhalation, lip‑pursed exhalation, huff coughs, etc.) that help reduce breathlessness, move mucus, and calm anxiety. How to assess if someone is on the “right” inhaler(s) vs. just using rescue inhalers, and what coaches should know about various inhaler classes. Ways health coaches can help clients being proactive in doctor visits—preparing questions, reviewing action plans, and improving collaboration. The role of nutrition, exercise, and reducing environmental/inflammatory exposures in lung health, not just “medication + oxygen.” The gaps in care Gina sees—where patients often don't get enough time, education, or follow‑up—and how health coaches and RTs can fill those gaps. Practical mindset shifts: turning directives into partnership, helping clients find personal “why,” and using breathing as a tool for anxiety and agency. Memorable Quotes: “If you have breathing problems, you're going to get an inhaler. Nobody tests for the breathing like they should.” “Many people think just with breathing problems, oxygen is the answer … But exercise can help that. Breath work … all of that really helps.” “The numbers don't really matter, but just the mindful breathing that you can control your breath.” Bio: Gina Hoots is a nationally recognized respiratory therapist and health coach with over 30 years of clinical and community experience, specializing in chronic lung conditions. As a Health Coach for BluZone.Health, Gina helps individuals live well with COPD, asthma, and other chronic respiratory illnesses through education, behavior change, and lifestyle optimization. She is the co‑creator and co‑host of The Cozy Lung Lounge Podcast, a compassionate, patient‑centered show offering real‑talk and resources for people with chronic lung disease and their caregivers. Whether it's unpacking new science or exploring the emotional side of illness, Gina's podcast makes space for the full experience of breathing and healing. Gina currently serves as the President of the Illinois Society for Respiratory Care, where she champions professional excellence and advocacy for the respiratory therapy field. She is also a COPD Foundation Captain, leading awareness efforts and community‑based support across Central and Southern Illinois. Rooted in both science and spirit, Gina is a proud member of the American Association for Respiratory Care and the Holistic Nurses Association, weaving a whole‑person approach into everything she does.

While COVID-19 lockdowns affected nearly everyone worldwide, feelings of anxiety and fear were exacerbated for those already entangled in the criminal justice system. Scholars recognized the unique opportunity to study crime and the justice system's response during this period, though they soon realized that determining the pandemic's effects would be a complicated, nuanced process.Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Responses and Adaptations in the US Criminal Justice System (Southern Illinois University Press 2025) features analyses and findings from more than thirty contributors in eleven essays. The collection examines the multifaceted social, economic, cultural, legislative, and policy responses to COVID-19 and their impacts on crime and justice. It also explores how professionals across the criminal justice system—police officers, campus police officers, attorneys, judges, correctional staff, and community supervision agents—adapted to unprecedented challenges.Through diverse perspectives and empirical approaches ranging from advanced statistical analysis to qualitative interviews, Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic offers a comprehensive exploration of the complexities that affect research results. It showcases the resilience and innovation within the criminal justice field and details the challenges professionals in this area tackled during a universally trying time, presenting valuable lessons for future crises.

Jay Greeson, Chris Lee and Chase Robinson preview Michigan's road trip to Oklahoma, a game shown on Saturday night on ABC at 6:30 Central. FanDuel favors Oklahoma by 6 1/2 points as of Monday morning, with an over-under of 46 1/2. Topics in the preview include: Oklahoma's John Matteer was everything the Sooners hoped in a 35-3 win over Illinois State, going 30-for-37 with 392 passing yards, one interception and one touchdown. Matteer's favorite target was Southern Illinois transfer Keontez Lewis, who caught nine balls for 119 yards and two scores. Running back Jadyn Ott, hampered with injuries in fall camp, carried the ball just once for three yards, but should have a bigger role this week. The Wolverines won a closer-than-it-should-have-been game with New Mexico by a 34-17 score in the opener. However, the score was a bit deceiving as Michigan out-gained the Lobos 7.2 yards per play to 3.6. Michigan's defense is loaded with pro prospects, including edge Derek Moore and DL Rayshawn Benny, who are potential top-2-round picks in the coming draft. Michigan cornerback Jyaire Hill a top-four-round prospect too, and safeties TJ Metcalfe and Rod Moore are also draft-able prospects Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham, a preseason first team all-Big 10 pick, did play but recorded no stats as he was ejected for targeting. His appeal was denied, meaning, he'll miss the first half of this game. Michigan linebacker Ernest Hausmann led the team with 8 tackles vs. New Mexico. He was Phil Steele's pick on his preseason 2nd-team all-Big 10 team. Wolverines' coach Sherrone Moore will coach this one, and will serve his two-game, NCAA-mandated suspension later in September. Michigan's offense is led by talented freshman Bryce Underwood, who'll have his first road test as a collegiate. Alabama transfer Justice Haynes was Michigan's offensive MVP last week, rushing 15 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns. The Sooners are stout in the trenches with R Mason Thomas, Gracen Halton, David Stone and others leading a very talented front seven.
