Listen to the podcast

Dave Dahl, Mike Kennedy's partner on the radio for Shocker basketball since 1980, joins the podcast to discuss Mike's career, the current state of Wichita State basketball and more. He tells us how he connected with Mike in 1980, why the chemistry clicked immediately and how that duo prepares for games.

We also discuss Mike's relationship with officials, the magic of the MTXE era and why Kennedy's skills calling volleyball explain so much. We dive into the three MVC championship teams that will be recognized this weekend and former Shocker star Warren Jabali, who is in the spotlight thanks to an ABA documentary "Soul Power."

On Saturday, WSU plays Temple at 5 p.m. It is Mike Kennedy Night and he will be honored at halftime.

Dahl attended Shawnee Mission West High School before coming to Wichita State to play basketball in 1967. He also had a lengthy career as a lawyer and served as Sedgwick County District Court Judge until retiring in 2025.
