Tobin Ott was a voice you knew right here in Central Illinois. Hosting shows and giving you the news on WSMI. Eight years ago, an amazing and life changing offer for his family came for his wife, and they moved to Florida, to work at Walt Disney World. A dream they had to pursue, and a dream they continue to live.
Watch or Listen as Tobin tells us about his time growing up in Staunton, being a Jazz Radio DJ, a 15 year journey with WSMI, being the voice of the Toppers, their Disney lives, and adopting a son. Oh, and he also spills the details on his recent trip to attend a taping of "The Price is Right".

Brad Skertich was a kid like any other, growing up in the 80s, riding bikes, and playing sports with his friends.   But in 1993, he and his 1993 Staunton Bulldog teammates, pulled of a Cinderella/Hoosiers IHSA State Championship run that eventually lands the team in the Illinois Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame.   
Relive the emotion and the untold stories.   We go way beyond the games and the stats, and dig into:
the emotions as it happened, the steady and caring hand of Coach Randy Legendre, what it meant to Staunton and what it still means, how thier parents prepped them to get there, and what the team all went on to become. We also dive into Brad today.   The challenges of running one of the largest school districts in MetroEast Illinois.   How growing up a "principal's kid", affects being the parent of a "superintendent's kid", and we make poke a bit of fun at a regular guest of WTL.
