Stockton Ports radio play-by-play announcer Zack Bayrouty

Just like players remember how they got the call to The Show, Zack Bayrouty breaks down in graphic detail how he received the news that he was being promoted for a day to broadcast an Oakland Athletics game in September. Its taken 13 years of due paying–long bus rides and late nights to get his shot and Bayrouty made the most of it. He reflects on his journey, support team and why Stockton has become so special. Bayrouty is classic example of how good things happen to good people.

Catching up with Grammy-Nominated Americana duo JC & Laney

"You've caught us at a time where I've had the unfortunate happen here with a broken foot. Normally, if I had a broken foot and would be in a walking boot, maybe over the course of the six week period that I have to be in it, I would have had maybe 12 shows. It just so happens I've been the boot 25 days and we've done 19 shows with a broken foot. We have extra together time now because I can't do a lot of things for myself...Like probably every couple we probably get on each other's nerves a lot during the day. We get off stage and that always seems to be healed. "

Bill Herenda’s Hollywood Breatkthrough

"If you're not nervous, that's a problem...Pressure is a privilege. I think that may have been Billie Jean King. And to really understand that and get after it, it's really important. And I think there's a balance, too. Of recognizing you are enough, too. And that's what Jenna Fischer talks about in her book that sometimes you don't have to be over the top--that you are enough."
