The KLRC Morning Show Podcast

Ross is half way through his first full‑time week in the studio with plenty of laughs, even managing to stump the crew during the Battle of Generations. The fun kept rolling, but the heart showed up too as Chaplain Justin shared the powerful “why” behind his faith. A time of joy, surprises, and a reminder of what anchors us.

Ross kicked things off this morning asking for date‑idea inspiration for him and his girlfriend — which, let’s be honest, we could all benefit from. But then we stumbled into a story that raises the bar for what showing up really looks like: a firefighter who not only delivered a baby on duty, but kept walking every milestone with that baby long after the moment passed. It turned into this sweet reminder of someone who shows up with heart, consistency, and the kind of kindness that sticks around.

They boys held down the fort while Becky was out for the day. Ross started the week praying for all those graduates, and the rest of us facing unknowns in the future. Mark shared a positive difference story about an 17-year old Arkansas young man who made his mom proud, and inspired the rest of us.

Ross and Becky had a blast this morning calling our Mom’s Day Out winner, Tru, whose reaction made the whole studio light up. Ross followed it up with a very insightful movie review that had the community providing feedback. And before wrapping up, everyone shared what they’re grateful for this week—a simple moment that brought a lot of heart to the show. Happy Mother's Day!

Ross and Becky open up a meaningful conversation today by asking why we believe what we believe—and our listening family shows up with powerful, personal answers. Ross’s Positive Difference story spotlights a local high school graduate who’s going above and beyond as they step into this new season. And the crew leans in with a challenge for all of us as believers to go above and beyond how we love.

Ross brought the full Mr. Z confidence to the Battle of Generations this morning. Becky and Chaplain Justin opened up about how they’re learning to navigate anger in parenting with more grace and intention. And Mark shared a moving Positive Difference story about an EMS instructor whose life was forever changed in a way that’s now inspiring everyone around him.

The crew had way too much fun this morning taking Matthew West’s Good and spinning their own custom versions. And Becky’s Positive Difference story took us straight to the most magical place on earth, where a classic Disney character turned an ordinary moment into a once‑in‑a‑lifetime memory for one little girl. It was one of those stories that reminds you why kindness feels a little like real‑life pixie dust.

Becky opened the morning with a prayer about obedience and learning to respond with less anger as parents. The team looked back on Friday’s fancy banquet celebrating Mark’s 20 years of service. Mark also shared good news about the successful rescue of a missing person in Franklin County over the weekend.

Caroline, our visiting 8th‑grader, jumped right into the Morning Show chaos and even picked today’s 5‑in‑15 topic for a shot at Big Daddy Weave tickets. Ross shared a selfless positive difference story and the crew got a little sentimental too, sharing what they’re grateful for—from a Naturals game band performance, Marks blind friend date to Becky’s six‑year‑old keeping her accountable. It all made for a morning that felt fun, real, and very us.

Ross had everyone laughing this morning as he revealed the little things that make him feel fancy, and the crew didn’t hold back with their own confessions. From there, the conversation took a thoughtful turn as the team reminded each other that it’s never too late to reset our relationship with technology and make more intentional choices. A fun mix of lighthearted honesty and real‑life encouragement that felt good for the soul.

Chaplain Justin helped us slow down and honor what we’re really feeling when grief shows up in our lives. Cheri the Boomer brought the heat with The Twist trivia, and Lauren the Millennial turned the tables by stumping the whole crew with her Shrek knowledge.

Ross shares a powerful Positive Difference story about a 9‑year‑old born without a limb who’s choosing hope and courage every single day. Becky opens up about Tim Timmons’ reflections on grief and gratitude, including what it looks like to grieve someone who’s still living. And Mark brings depth to the conversation with insights from Ben Sasse as he reflects on life in America through the lens of his own cancer journey.

Becky is back from a weekend wedding, and apparently it made such an impression that her 4‑year‑old is now ready to tie the knot too. As the school year winds down, we reveal this week’s Office of the Week and Teacher of the Week. Lots of laughs and a little inspiration.

It's another family fun Friday, so we'll get ready for the weekend with our "Friday 5" gratitude, a review of the new "Michael" movie, and we'll see what is happening around the area this weekend!

Mark and Ross tried to survive the morning without Becky and stumbled on a conversation about "taking the long road". Plus Dr. Rosemary from the Center for Healthy Relationships at JBU stopped by for a conversation about co-dependency.

Micah Tyler jumped back in today for the Battle of Generations, and the energy was exactly what you’d expect when he’s in! Becky also spotlighted a Chicago community that’s doing something beautiful—using literature to reach teens right where they are. It all made for a good‑time kind of morning with a little extra heart woven in.

Special Guest Micah Tyler joins the conversation today. Now the real competition might be whether Ross teaching Becky how he makes his coffee or the AI‑generated song built entirely from Morning Show messages. It’s one of those delightfully unpredictable days in the studio where everything becomes a bit. And somehow, all three moments manage to steal the spotlight in their own way.

We start the week with a prayer to inspired by a turtle encounter Becky had over the weekend. Plus, we learned about Ross' "illegal" activities on the zip line, and Mark shared a positive difference story about a really cool vending machine in Michigan.

Today’s show was delightfully all over the place — from a Positive Difference story about a grandma leveling up in the world of video games to a Crawfish‑themed 5‑in‑15 that had us laughing way too hard. It was chaotic, charming, and exactly the kind of Friday energy we needed. Tune in to catch the rest of the fun!

The crew took things a little deeper today as they shared a powerful letter a dad wrote to his son the night before his wedding. It’s one of those reminders about legacy, love, and the kind of wisdom that stays with you long after the big day. You can read the full letter over on the KLRC Morning Show Facebook page.
