Description

Clearing Waivers is a midwest-centric sports talk podcast with plenty of tomfoolery along the way. We’ll have talk, we’ll have games, we’ll have segments, all jam-packed with “ope’s” and “weeeeeeeeeell’s” that us fly-over folks love. We'll primarily cover the Chiefs, Royals, and Mizzou Tigers, but the midwest connects the coasts, so we'll be touching on just about everything.
