  Ep 87 - Calling the Game: Bobby Alford on Southeast Missouri Sports

  Sep 26, 20262h 18m

  Send us Fan Mail A 4-1 homecoming Saturday hits different when you can feel the town behind it. We open with Sikeston’s big night, the energy around the tailgate, and why a strong football start can set the tone for an entire school year. We also tip our cap to a soccer team sitting at 13-0 and staring down a tougher stretch that will show just how high the ceiling is. If you care about Sikeston Bulldogs athletics, Southeast Missouri rivalries, and the little details that make Fridays matter, this one’s for you. Then we bring on Bobby Alford, one of the most familiar voices in the region through Aycorp Sports, to pull back the curtain on high school sports broadcasting and live streaming. Bobby talks about his day job in agriculture sales with Helena Ag, how a “regular” career can coexist with nights in the booth, and what fans don’t see: film study, stat prep, last-minute phone calls for context, and the discipline it takes to keep the spotlight on the kids. We also get into the difference between play-by-play and colour commentary, why chemistry with a partner matters, and how a great call becomes a memory families keep forever. We wrap with what makes Aycorp Sports work, from the behind-the-scenes crew to the technology that makes replays and production quality feel big time in small towns. Along the way, we hit district implications, upcoming matchups, favorite gyms, and a lightning round that somehow lands on Tennessee football and Nolan Ryan.

  Ep 86 - From Vinyl to Streaming: Reid Howell and the Power of Local Radio

  Sep 19, 20262h 28m

  Send us Fan Mail You can feel it when a town gets a win it needed. We open by soaking in that Bulldogs energy after beating Cape, tipping our hat to an undefeated boys’ soccer squad, and talking through what a 3-1 start can do for belief, momentum, and the kind of Friday night atmosphere Coach May is asking for. We also get personal for a minute, because real life shows up fast: Micah shares how much better he feels after a recent heart procedure and stent, and we give credit where it is due to Missouri Delta and the new local cath lab that is already making a difference for people right here at home. Then we bring in a familiar voice across southeast Missouri: Reid Howell, general manager at KYMO in East Prairie and host of JAMS Just Another Morning Show. Reed tells the story of getting hired at 15, running American Top 40 on vinyl, and learning radio through pure baptism by fire. From there, we dig into what “community radio” actually means in 2026: live local DJs, local sports play-by-play, local weather you can trust, church programming for folks who cannot get out, and a steady stream of events that hold small towns together. We also go behind the curtain on the modern radio business: streaming, station apps, RDS song titles in your car, tower height and signal coverage, and why radio still outperforms more flashy media when it comes to recall for local advertising. Along the way, Reid shares memorable games, celebrity interviews, music philosophy, concert highlights, and a lightning round that proves you can love Boston and still be curious about something new.

  Ep 85 - Marvin Whitson | Building Bulldog Golf

  Sep 12, 20262h 18m

  Send us Fan Mail One bad swing can ruin four great holes, and that’s exactly why golf is so brutal and so addictive. After we unpack what we saw in the Bulldogs’ matchup with the top-ranked Jackson Indians, we shift from Friday night lights to fairways and talk with Sikeston Bulldogs golf coach Marvin Whitson about what it really takes to build confident high school golfers. Marvin coaches both the boys and girls programs, and he explains how Title IX helped bring girls golf back the right way, why fundamentals matter more than flashy drives, and how the mental game can be harder to fix than a swing flaw. We get into golf coaching strategies that actually translate to lower scores: course management, short game skills like chipping and putting, and keeping instruction simple enough to use under pressure. If you’ve ever felt your confidence disappear after one miss, you’ll recognise exactly what he’s describing. We also dig into modern golf training and why data matters when you know how to read it. Marvin shares how TrackMan launch monitor numbers like spin rate and launch angle can speed up improvement, plus how The Bunker indoor golf simulator has become a major support for local player development. Along the way, we talk community pride, integrity in a sport where you call penalties on yourself, and why Sikeston golf is on the upswing.

  Ep 84 - Take a Second Look | Steve McPheeters on Sikeston's Future

  Sep 5, 20262h 34m

  Send us Fan Mail A pick six on the first play can make you think a game will be easy. Friday night against Dexter proved the opposite and that’s why we love it. We break down a tense Bulldogs win that turns into overtime, talk through the momentum swings, and spotlight the moments that mattered most, from special teams sparks to defensive stands that show real growth. Starting 2-0 for the first time since 2021 feels good, but the bigger point is what it says about culture, composure, and making the winning play at the winning time. Then we sit down with Steve McPheeters, a trusted voice in Sikeston and Southeast Missouri who has spent decades in banking, chamber leadership, and economic development and now shares positive local stories through McPheeters Beat on KYMO. Steve walks us through what has changed in Sikeston, why we have to tell our story better, and why “take a second look” might be the most accurate slogan we could adopt. We dig into the real building blocks of community growth: schools, the YMCA, the hospital’s impact, the higher education center, and the partnerships that help a town move in one direction. We also get practical about what’s holding growth back. Steve makes a clear case that housing is the missing piece, explains why building costs are so high, and why more places to live is tied directly to workforce, business recruitment, and long-term stability. If you care about Sikeston Missouri, small-town community leadership, economic development, and Bulldogs pride, this conversation is for you.

  Ep 83.5 - Opening Night Statement | A Strong First Step

  Aug 30, 202642 min

  Send us Fan Mail The score says 32-7, but the bigger story is what it took to get there. We’re back with a special audio-only “Episode 83.5” of The Dog House, reacting to Sikeston Bulldogs football opening night against Park Hills and the signs that this team is taking a real step forward under Coach May. We talk through the things that actually win high school football games: a defensive front that owns short yardage, a group that flies to the ball, and an offense that stays calm even when it gets behind the chains. We also give love to the individual moments that swung momentum, from Jace’s steady game management to clutch third-down plays and contested catches from Lane Meyer, plus a late first-half call that gets Christian Gibson wide open. Then we zoom out to the road ahead: the Dexter Bearcats trip, what “success” looks like this season, how district expectations are shaping up, and why the SEMO Conference chase matters when a program is building confidence week by week. Before we sign off, we slow down for something bigger than sports. Our community is hurting, and we share practical, specific ways to support a grieving family, along with reminders that it’s okay to ask for help. Counselors will be available at school, and the 988 crisis line is there 24/7 for anyone who needs to talk.
