Tales to Astonish: An O'Hara Podcast

We are masked up and back in studio with special guest Tom Garth. This is a long one but it’s worth it. We just kind of sat back and let Tom go. Hear tales of: -His many jobs besides teaching/coaching. -His passionate moments with fellow coaches and players. Like trying to resist the urge to fight Matt Morrison. -Lots of football talk.-The internal debate of how best to use Matt Patterson. -The honor and joy of coaching Pat Clifton in wrestling. -The Mount Rushmore of O’Hara wrestling. -Corporal punishment at O’Hara back in the day -The Adventures of Carlos Torres. -The saga of getting Tony Valencia to O’Hara. -The Chip Sherman impression you never knew you always wanted. -The most dramatic state title win possibly in O’Hara history. -His side of the infamous American Flag wrestling singlet. -Our first news “scoop.”-The time Chadd Peter tried to quit wrestling. -The legacy of the Christian Brothers. -His invention of a demerit card barter system. -The awesomeness that is Lindsay (Crass) Norris. Hope you enjoy!

Come test your O'Hara trivia knowledge against our contestants and their O'Hara lifelines. Keep score at home and see if you could be the ultimate champion of useless O'Hara knowledge.One technical issue to mention. I'm not sophisticated enough with Zoom to know how to keep the game board on the screen and everyone's faces on screen. So you will only see 6 people at a time and those 6 people change throughout the episode. But you'll still hear everyone.Hope you enjoy!

Some levity during the dark days of COVID.Well, it's a podcast. Is it entertaining or worth watching? Who can say? But hey, you gotta be done with Tiger King by now so give it a shot.Yes it's our first ever video podcast. Recorded over zoom. Join the boys from quarantine...sort of. Hear tales of both being essential and working from home. We ponder a few O'Hara related quarantine questions. Play a little show and tell. And quickly come to realize what zoom bombing is and that we should have listened to Joe from the beginning. Yeah, it was that bad. So bad we had to edit it out but we left our reactions in which is hopefully worth it. Enjoy!Note: We will get an audio only version out in the next day or so if that's more your style.

Former Jack of All Trades at O'Hara, John O'Connor joins the guys in studio to discuss his O'Hara journey, the odd (and we do mean odd) jobs he either had or wanted to have in his life outside of education, and what he's up to these days. Hope you enjoy.

Director Brian Rose joins the boys in studio to discuss his documentary film When I Last Saw Jesse. The film chronicles the 2006 disappearance of Jesse Ross (OHS class of 2005). Jesse went to a Chicago convention as part of UMKC's Model U.N. team, walked out of a conference room early one morning, and has not been seen since. Brian breaks it all down for us and was a pleasure to speak with. We hope you enjoy.
