Kentucky Sports Radio learned a valuable lesson tonight as we attempted our first ever taping outside in front of Rupp Arena.  Now some of you may wonder, "why with no events going on in Rupp would you decide to tape outside in the cold?"  I have no idea the answer to that question.  However since the Jim Tirey-WLAP situation, we are forced to try new and diverse things.....this one may not have been our best choice, but it is exciting nevertheless.

The show (which will be up later tonight) contains an interview with Josh Minton, which is a must hear.  The rest of the show is not of the highest sound quality, but it is of the highest content quality and I hope you like it.  Plus Josh Minton does his best beat box.  You cant beat that....
