  • Mellinger Minutes For Your Ears: A new podcast where I answer your KC sports questions

    04/03/2020

    Welcome to our new experiment. We are constantly trying to think of new ways to deliver you information, entertainment or something else you won’t get anywhere else. Part of that is evaluating how you and I can connect. We’ve had great luck with columns, profiles, the Minutes every Tuesday, and on social media. My hope is this can be one more way — a podcast you can listen to whenever and wherever you like. The hope is to post these most Fridays, but we need your help. So if you’d like to participate with a question please call 816-234-4365 and leave your first name and city. If you have a way we can make this better please let me know that, too. This week, I’m answering your questions about The Peanut, the uncertainty of this year’s baseball season and how the coronavirus pandemic has shifted the rhythm of sports. We’ll finish up with an exclusive interview with Royals manager Mike Matheny, where we talk about life, family and baseball. Thanks as always for your time. Learn more about your ad choices.
