The KLRC Morning Show Podcast

Today’s morning show was full of good vibes and gratitude! We had fun with the 5 in 15 and gave away tickets to see Big Daddy Weave. Thanks for hanging out with us and starting the day on such an encouraging note!

Mark enlightened us with the cons of multitasking through his own “whoopsie” moment. Becky’s Positive Difference story highlighted a small business pouring back into the community. The crew also had a fruitful conversation with Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield on fatherhood.

On today’s show, the crew embraced the power outage with a “Worst Case Scenario” Wednesday game. Mark shared thoughts on the power of confessing out loud, and Ross brought a Positive Difference story about one man’s trash becoming another man’s treasure.

The Podcast is back (after some technical difficulties)! We start this week with a prayer, a local positive difference story, a powerful lesson from a little league game, and Ross begins his on-air Spanish Summer School.

Fridays we get ready for the weekend with our "Friday Five" gratitude list, we play "5 in 15", and share what family fun is happing around our community. PLUS, a positive difference story from right here in NWA!

Today on the show, we talked about endings, transition, and new beginnings with Dr. Rosemary as she shares her own season of change. We also featured Mark’s Positive Difference story, which shed light on how unmet expectations in retirement can deeply affect a person’s sense of purpose—and why continuing to learn, grow, and stay engaged matters so much

On today’s Chaplain Chat we’re bringing a Hot Take on new research about how to increase your faith. Plus, the battle of the generations comes to a close for the season with a well-deserved victory for our in-house visitor!

Mark and Becky dove into a “summer reset,” sharing simple ways to stay organized and breathe a little easier as the season ramps up. They also played a powerful clip from Eric Church’s commencement speech—one of those reminders worth replaying when you need a spark of courage. And somewhere along the way, they realized they might need to take a tiny break from all those crime shows… for everyone’s sake

Mark is counting down the days until his son returns from Germany, Becky is dreaming of school finally wrapping up for a slow, peaceful summer, and we celebrated our final Teacher of the Week of the school year — the wonderful Mrs. Henderson. A morning full of anticipation, gratitude, and a whole lot of heart.

 We kicked off the morning with a fun round of 5 in 15, and our winner scored Faith & Family Night tickets. Ross, Becky, and Mark shared heartfelt gratitude stories, from God’s perfect timing to the ways He provides right when we need it. We wrapped up with a look at all the great things happening around NWA this weekend, and it left us smiling heading into Friday.

Becky shared a tough moment from her 6‑year‑old’s school day and the surprising wisdom he offered that helped her pause instead of react. Ross unpacked what “busyness” really costs us when we stop being intentional. And Becky closed things out with a hilarious comedian clip about the joys of listening to your husband chew.

Ross is half way through his first full‑time week in the studio with plenty of laughs, even managing to stump the crew during the Battle of Generations. The fun kept rolling, but the heart showed up too as Chaplain Justin shared the powerful “why” behind his faith. A time of joy, surprises, and a reminder of what anchors us.

Ross kicked things off this morning asking for date‑idea inspiration for him and his girlfriend — which, let’s be honest, we could all benefit from. But then we stumbled into a story that raises the bar for what showing up really looks like: a firefighter who not only delivered a baby on duty, but kept walking every milestone with that baby long after the moment passed. It turned into this sweet reminder of someone who shows up with heart, consistency, and the kind of kindness that sticks around.

They boys held down the fort while Becky was out for the day. Ross started the week praying for all those graduates, and the rest of us facing unknowns in the future. Mark shared a positive difference story about an 17-year old Arkansas young man who made his mom proud, and inspired the rest of us.

Ross and Becky had a blast this morning calling our Mom’s Day Out winner, Tru, whose reaction made the whole studio light up. Ross followed it up with a very insightful movie review that had the community providing feedback. And before wrapping up, everyone shared what they’re grateful for this week—a simple moment that brought a lot of heart to the show. Happy Mother's Day!

Ross and Becky open up a meaningful conversation today by asking why we believe what we believe—and our listening family shows up with powerful, personal answers. Ross’s Positive Difference story spotlights a local high school graduate who’s going above and beyond as they step into this new season. And the crew leans in with a challenge for all of us as believers to go above and beyond how we love.

Ross brought the full Mr. Z confidence to the Battle of Generations this morning. Becky and Chaplain Justin opened up about how they’re learning to navigate anger in parenting with more grace and intention. And Mark shared a moving Positive Difference story about an EMS instructor whose life was forever changed in a way that’s now inspiring everyone around him.

The crew had way too much fun this morning taking Matthew West’s Good and spinning their own custom versions. And Becky’s Positive Difference story took us straight to the most magical place on earth, where a classic Disney character turned an ordinary moment into a once‑in‑a‑lifetime memory for one little girl. It was one of those stories that reminds you why kindness feels a little like real‑life pixie dust.

Becky opened the morning with a prayer about obedience and learning to respond with less anger as parents. The team looked back on Friday’s fancy banquet celebrating Mark’s 20 years of service. Mark also shared good news about the successful rescue of a missing person in Franklin County over the weekend.

Caroline, our visiting 8th‑grader, jumped right into the Morning Show chaos and even picked today’s 5‑in‑15 topic for a shot at Big Daddy Weave tickets. Ross shared a selfless positive difference story and the crew got a little sentimental too, sharing what they’re grateful for—from a Naturals game band performance, Marks blind friend date to Becky’s six‑year‑old keeping her accountable. It all made for a morning that felt fun, real, and very us.
