A play-by-play announcer provides a running commentary of a live sports broadcast. The best play-by-play announcers work to develop a voice, pace, and style that their audience recognizes as soon as they hear them. They have a deep understanding of their sport, are skilled entertainers, build interest in the play and the athletes, and create storylines that grip their listeners' interest. Down the causeway from Davis, the professional soccer team Sacramento Republic FC plays in the USL Championship. Their motto is Urbs Indomita (The Indomitable City) which is also the motto of the city of Sacramento. Meet Rob McAllister, Sacramento Republic FC's play-by-play announcer, and hear about his broadcasting career, the Republic's current season, and their magical U.S. Open Cup run.

Favorite songs and the power they evoke, on Listening Lyrics, Aug. 12, 2022

Asking someone to select their top 20 songs is difficult, and picking just one is impossible. But that's what we have today: one favorite song from each of several people, along with the reasons it's their favorite. I left the genres open.

Music is a mystery that touches us on so many levels at so many different times. It can make us happy, sad, or melancholy. Or maybe we're drawn to the music itself, or to the lyrics; or for many of us a song offers a look back in time that allows us to relive a past moment.

On today's show, we play songs chosen by Karin Pastoor Husebosch, Carol Hess, Rod Rodriguez, Preacher, Ed Branam, John Caroll, Jeanne Pastoor, and me, Pieter Pastoor. Listen to the stories and be moved by the power of music.
