“REIGNING CATS & DOGS,” the weekly coaches podcast featuring Truman State University and Kirksville High School athletics, completed a successful first season this spring.

Hosted by Kirksville Daily Express sports editor Henry Janssen (’16) the show aired weekly during the academic year and offered listeners an inside look at local athletics through conversations with coaches, activity directors and administrators. Topics included recent competition, team development, leadership and what lies ahead for each program.

Season one featured 22 episodes and included more than 50 guests representing a wide range of sports and activities from both Truman and KHS. The show also continued to improve throughout the year with stronger audio and video production, including the addition of a full backdrop and upgraded presentation elements.

Season two is scheduled to begin in September, continuing a growing platform that has helped connect the Kirksville community with the people leading local athletics.
