For the past couple of months I have been a co-host for a radio sports show "Talking Sports with Rick Parr." Rick Parr is the General Manager for the Reno Aces. It's a great show. We talk everything sports for an hour live every Wednesday morning from the Reno Town Mall and on 101.3 FM Renegade Radio or on renegaderadio.org. This show is interactive to the listeners. You can call in, come in to the mall and join us live on set, or you can chime in on Facebook. If you miss the live show, you can hear the replay of the last week's show every Sunday evening at 5pm on 99.1 FM Talk.
