See, I went and tried to make fun of coaches everywhere with a bunch of cliches about our podcast without checking to make sure the thing was actually going to play. It's like talking about your playoff chances without realizing two of your best linemen have swine flu. Epic fail on my part....

UPDATED: Use this one instead. Trying to make up for my ineptitude.
Todd Camps was under the weather for this week's podcast and powered through anyway. That's what you do when you're in playoff podcasting. If we win this week, we'll be lucky enough to go to the podcasting quarterfinals...

This is late, I know, but I was in Fresno all day for cross country and it fell to the backburner. Lots of good stuff on here, though.
As for the XC, McFarland's boys and girls both won section titles, as did three individuals. Centennial reached the Division I volleyball semifinals by...

UPDATE: Apparently the first version of the podcast was derailed by my less-than-stellar technological skills. Bummer. This one works, though!
ORIGINAL POST: Sorry this is so late into the evening, but I was out at Garces' girls tennis victory over Visalia-Redwood to give the Rams...

I know it's getting late, but here's your Week 8 podcast. Had to cover some playoff tennis (Stockdale over Liberty) this afternoon, so we got started late on producing this one, but here it is, and I think it's a pretty good one. Lots of Taft-Tehachapi talk and quite a few other things for your...

Had some technical issues, but here is the Week 7 podcast, complete with a discussion from Todd Camps and I about the first four playoff divisions and who we might think the favorites are. It's still early for it to be anything but speculation, but it was a fun talking point.

Here is your Week 6 podcast, and with it I offer this bit of news: The Central Section has rescinded its decision on Wasco's forfeit to Fresno-McLane.
Wasco athletic director Raul Rangel told me that section commissioner Jim Crichlow told him earlier today that the Tigers' scheduled Week 5 game...

Here's your Week 5 podcast, though there are again changes to what Todd and I are talking about (we often record these on Mondays). Wasco will not be playing Fresno-McLane this weekend, and I just spent a couple of hours on the phone trying to figure out exactly why. I'm still not sure, actually....

Sorry this is late, but I present our Week 4 high school football podcast. Can't wait for Week 4 — and if you can't get enough of football (or of my voice), listen to KRAB Radio's morning show to catch me talking about a few of the matchups and news of the week. Should be on the air...

Here's the latest rumblings and musings from myself and Californian copy editor Todd Camps. I've got kind of a fun story coming out in the paper in the morning, on just what it's like to take a road trip for an important football game, like Bakersfield, Stockdale, Frontier and Wasco all have to...

A quick note on this podcast — Todd and I mention that Shafter will visit Independence on Saturday because the Falcons don't yet have lights. I've since found out that instead, the game will be moved to Stockdale and played Friday night. So make that mental correction. I've also...

Sorry about the delay; here's your Week 1 high school football podcast. One note: Early on, Todd and I are talking about the new Garces quarterback and I spit out the name Byron Campbell. That ain't right. Byron graduated from Liberty two years ago; it's his brother Blake who will start at...

TWO QUICK UPDATES: One, if you haven't done so already, pick up a Thursday Californian. It has the 2009 High School Football Preview magazine inside. Pick up a Friday and Saturday edition for all the weekend's high school football coverage. Or you could, you know, just subscribe. Save newspapers!...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Here's the deal with this week's podcast: Because the people who know what they're doing with these things are off for the holiday, I attempted to create this podcast file myself. Obviously, I haven't been able to embed it in the blog, but if you click on...

We're going to shake things up just a little bit here in Week 10 because I'm on the road up to Fresno for Stockdale's Division I girls tennis championship with Bullard this afternoon and then for cross country divisional championships tomorrow morning.
So, I'll give you time to digest this...

Forgive me for the bad analogy at the beginning of this podcast. I wonder aloud whether it's the greatest or worst metaphor of all time, and I think I've settled on the worst. Luckily, fellow reporter Simon Samano and copy editor/Kern County football guru Todd Camps pick up my slack. Enjoy...

Every week we link to the Radio Free Bakersfield podcast which promises (and unfailingly delivers) 60 minutes of twang, crunch and oomph.
So imagine our delight when the man who puts this podcast together e-mailed us thanking us for the kind words and providing some background to the show and...

Sage may be the only RFB fan out there, but can anyone really argue with almost 60 minutes of twang, crunch and oomph?

Those of you old enough to remember radio before the Internet may recall Radio Free Bakersfield, a low-power pirate FM station that fired up after dark and played wild stuff from all kinds of genres. Rumor was RFB was transmitting from an office in the Haberfelde Building.
