Al Wallace shouldn’t be new to anyone who’s lived in Kansas City during the past 35 years. After all, you invited him into your home countless times. He retired from WDAF-TV (Fox 4) in December 2018, but since then he’s written a book, "One for the Coyotes," he’s taught classes in the journalism department at the University of Kansas, he’s led tours at historic Allen Fieldhouse, he’s co-hosted an episode or two of this podcast and he’s been a terrific mentor in the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program.

This week we talk about some of Al's memories from the 2015 World Series, have him tackle our "7 Questions," and discuss a couple of the things he's doing today.
