If you had told Megan that there would EVER be an episode that would be mostly about sports, she would have told you you were out. Of. Your. Mind.

John Wingate grew up in the Hannibal/Quincy area and was friends with Joel and Billy Hoag and Craig Dowell. One day, in May of 1967, these three young boys went exploring in Hannibal's cave system - and vanished. John went on to become a broadcaster, journalist and media consultant. Last year, he decided the story of these "Lost Boys" needed to be told, so he wrote,"The Lost Boys of Hannibal: Inside America's Largest Cave Search." John joins us to tell this fascinating, historic and bittersweet story.

When we sought out advise about starting a podcast, we turned to St. Louis area podcaster Bill Clevlen, the host of "Rediscovering America," and www.billontheroad.com. Although, for our visit, Bill was actually on the couch. In Episode 8, Bill talks about his travels, his book, "100 Things to Do in America Before You Die," and how one of those 100 things Bill chose is in Hannibal.
