Description
Once upon a time (for the better part of two decades, actually) we had a weekly show on terrestrial radio, but it succumbed to pressures from a powerful force that couldn’t take honest criticism. That won’t happen again. We’re baaaack! Every week, members of our staff will serve up free-wheeling discussion about the events and issues near and dear to sports fans from the Peoria, Illinois area. Sometimes, the talk will be hyper-local, sometimes hyper-galactic, because everyone who’s from here knows: Peoria is The Center Of The Universe!
