🎙️ 2026 Summer Super Show is HERE! ☀️📚

Y’all- We're kicking it off with a very special guest—Newbery Medal-winning author and Scholastic favorite Jerri Spinelli!

We chat about his brand-new release, Fifth Grade Top Dogs, a story that couldn't have arrived at a better time. As the parent of a soon-to-be fifth grader myself, this conversation hit especially close to home. We talk about growing up, navigating the fifth-grade years, and the inspiration behind his latest book.

Whether you're a parent, educator, librarian, or young reader, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and join us for an unforgettable start to our Summer Super Show!

Later in the show, we're thrilled to welcome back our dear friend and longtime sponsor, Pam Breaux of ERA Top Agent Realty! 💜💛💚

Pam is always on the move—and this year is no exception. We catch up on all the exciting things happening in her world, from celebrating with her beloved Mardi Gras krewes to stepping into a new leadership role with the Slidell Rotary Club. Through it all, she's remained one of Louisiana's most trusted real estate professionals.

Whether she's helping families find the perfect home, giving back through community service, or bringing people together at local events, Pam understands what truly makes a community thrive. Because at the heart of everything she does, it's all about people.

🎧 Don't miss this fun and inspiring conversation with someone who proves that success is built on relationships, service, and a genuine love for Louisiana.

We wrap up our 2026 Summer Super Show with sports author and historian Scott Parker, as we explore his latest book, Baseball's Unlikely: A Constant Game 2. ⚾📚

Scott joins us for a fascinating conversation about the stories that make baseball one of America's most enduring pastimes. We discuss the iconic ballparks that have become landmarks in the sport, the unforgettable headlines that have shaped baseball history, and the moments that continue to captivate generations of fans.

Whether you're a lifelong baseball enthusiast, a history lover, or someone who appreciates the rich traditions of the game, Scott's latest book offers a fresh look at the events and places that have defined baseball's legacy.

🎧 Don't miss this engaging conversation, and be sure to grab your copy of Baseball's Unlikely: A Constant Game 2 on Scott's website or Amazon as we close out our 2026 Summer Super Show!
