The Rant: July 23 Podcast

The Rant was a man short this week, but we came together and produced what I thought was a pretty good show, especially if you’re a fan of local sports.
Herald Sports Editor Alex Podlogar was our guest, in the studio to talk about the upcoming high school football season and a little ACC football as well. We hope you enjoy:

Subjects we touched on …
• Billy being a klutz
• Gordon’s sickness
• Jon was a band geek
• Smoking bans and why Jon likes them
• Lee schools don’t meet AYP standards
• Lee County, Southern Lee football seasons

Tune in Wednesday at 8 a.m.: Guest Alex Podlogar

Sometimes, you just gotta talk sports.

Join the Rant Wednesday, July 23, as we talk with Herald Sports Editor Alex Podlogar about the upcoming high school football season, the upcoming ACC football season and how things are unfolding in Major League Baseball.

It’s a sports-lovers dream, really, and not like the kind of dream where you’re on the pitcher’s mound in your underwear.

Listen from 8 to 9 a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday) on WDCC 90.5 FM Sanford.
