Summary

The St. Louis Blues radio voice joined Tim in studio recently to discuss his journey from doing mock broadcasts in the stands at Busch Stadium as a kid to joining the lineage of accomplished STL broadcasters. Topics of this conversation include: ? His chemistry with radio broadcaster partner Kelly Chase ? Sending minor league teams cassette tapes to land a job ? Why he didn't apply for a Blues job the 1st time it opened ? How his big break was calling a play by Keith Tkachuk ? The Blues executive who suggested he quit broadcasting ? How he almost torpedoed his own chance at the Blues gig ? Discussing classic teams from 2003, 2009, and 2015-16 ? His thoughts on the 2017-18 team so far this season You can follow Chris on Twitter: @chriskerber Please support our sponsors: The Home Loan Expert, Ryan Kelley James Carlton Agency (State Farm) Gateway Buick GMC Follow us on Twitter: @McKernanShow Like us on Facebook: Facebook.com/TheTimMcKernanShow Special thanks to Story of the Year for providing our theme music.
