The Papa Ron Podcast

Chris Stigall is a conservative radio talk show host on KCMO 710 AM/103.7 FM in Kansas City from 10a-Noon CST and WNTP 990 AM "The Answer" in Philadelphia, PA from 6a-9a EST and has also been featured as contributor on Fox News. In addition to that, he also hosts his own podcast called "The Chris Stigall Podcast" and another podcast with his wife called "Making The Leap". The link to Chris' website is below this description and while you're on his website, be sure to look into joining the Chris Stigall Harrumph Society, "founded to advance the understanding of current events. Preserving and protecting our culture and Constitutional Republic requires informed, steely-eyed voters who aren’t easily distracted". Chris, Jillian and I have many things in common. Aside from our conservative views, we each worked at Q104 (KBEQ FM) in Kansas City. In this episode (24), Chris joins Jillian Gregg and I to discuss how he got into radio by being a super fan of The Randy Miller Morning Show. With an overwhelming desire and commitment to do whatever it took to get a shot in radio, Randy took a liking to him and gave him an opportunity to work along side and behind the scenes. Which later exposed Chris' work ethic to Program Director, Mike Kennedy, who later offered him a job out of college at Northwest Missouri State. Upon leaving Q104, Chris remained in the Kansas City market working at a few different stations before leaving for Philadelphia. The title of this episode perfectly summarizes this nearly 3 hour discussion. Aside from talking about his fascinating start to his radio career and the stops along the way, Chris also dives into the current American political climate. From the 2022 midterm elections, to the recent announcement of Donald Trump running for the Presidency in 2024, to the hype of Ron DeSantis and the issues within the Republican party. We close out the show talking about Chris' commitment to his christian faith. In doing so, Chris is vulnerable and open about his battle with anxiety and stress and using alcohol "heavily" (as he put it) to cope but later being freed from daily drinking and now sober for nearly 4 years. Chris is a very talented, smart and well-spoken man with a genuine heart and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I think you'll enjoy it also. Watch this episode on Spotify or YouTube.
