Mellinger podcast: Big Royals news, plenty of Chiefs + Tony G on his Kansas City fame
This week we go hard on the biggest news of the week: The Royals announced a new general manager and made public their exploration of the notion of building a new downtown ballpark.
We offer insight on all of that and answer the question on many minds: If the Royals go downtown, what happens with the Chiefs and Arrowhead Stadium?
The questions hit on Andy Reid’s decisions, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s explosiveness and the Royals’ 2022 lineup.
The bonus section is a conversation with Tony Gonzalez on stardom in Kansas City. There’s some interesting stuff in here, including a story about Johnny Manziel.
Here’s what we’re doing: We are constantly trying to think of new ways to deliver you information, entertainment or something else you won’t get anywhere else. Part of that is evaluating how you and I can connect. My hope is this can be one more way — a podcast you can listen to whenever and wherever you like.
