Dear Radio,

Real conversations. Meaningful stories. Make It Matter.

[Dear Radio, @DearRadioShow]

You spend years trying to get into your dream industry.

Then one day you’re thinking:

“Get me out of here. I hate this.”

Allyson Warren got so burned out working in sports that she started exploring medical sales.

How much should past investment influence whether you stay?

[Dear Radio, @DearRadioShow]

Trey got rejected by App State and was told he seemed too nervous.

That same day, someone told him about an opening at UNC Charlotte.

He applied.

He got it.

Sometimes rejection isn’t failure.

It’s redirection.

What rejection ended up helping you?

Karlil transferred schools during his junior year and experienced TV/media classes for the first time.

That exposure eventually helped shape his path into broadcasting and podcasting.

Sometimes the talent was always there.

The access wasn’t.

What opportunity changed your life

Jansen on the local derby: great start to the season ✅

Asked about Ryan Trautman: silence 😭

Langston immediately pivots:

Gets himself picked 😂

Professional answer or elite dodge?

Random LSC fan volunteered for an interview and immediately chose violence 😭

LSC: doing pretty good ✅
Refs: step it up
Ryan Troutman: “I don’t think he’s that good.”

Our host actually knows Ryan too 💀

LSC/LouCity fans — fair take or unnecessary stray?

Coach Oldroyd's first match as a pro soccer coach is against two of his own former collegiate players. He talks Lexington SC vs Louisville City, watching them grow — and shows off his go-to WWE finishing move. New Dear Radio clip 🎙️⚽

[Dear Radio, @DearRadioShow]

Lexington has enough soccer going on now that JK has us thinking we need to start doing soccer workouts too 😂⚽

LSC. College soccer. More growth around the city.

Is Lexington officially becoming a soccer city?

Abby enjoyed the Commonwealth Cup.

The atmosphere? ✅
The match? ✅
The result? Could’ve been better.

The $4 hot dog?

Absolutely unacceptable apparently. 😂🌭

Her rule: “Hot dogs should never be over $2.”

Agree or disagree?

AYE!!!

[Dear Radio, @DearRadioShow]

You never truly experience a soccer match from the broadcast.

We went behind the scenes at Lexington Sporting Club to talk with fans, players, and staff about one of Kentucky’s biggest rivalries.

Would you rather watch from home or be in the stadium? ⚽👇

Mistakes cascade, big or small. Trey's whole approach: make the mistake, own the mistake, learn from the mistake. Simple to say, hard to actually do. New episode gets into it.

[Dear Radio, @DearRadioShow]

Trey got the offer to work with the Panthers in Charlotte. Didn't know anyone there. Could've easily said no out of fear. Said yes instead. Episode 101 is about why the uncomfortable "yes" is usually the right one.

[Dear Radio, @DearRadioShow]
