I did a recent interview with veteran Salem radio broadcaster Mike Allegre — the voice of the Willamette Bearcats — for the Sports Ticket and KYKN (1430 AM). We talked about my background, about the genesis of newspaper sportswriting, writing “Jerome Kersey: Overcoming the Odds,” the great Bill Schonely and other subjects.

Allegre tells me the interview will air again during the Oregon football pregame show prior to the Ducks’ home game vs. Colorado on Oct. 30. Or if you prefer, have a listen here.
