After kicking around more names than a spring quarterback battle, I’ve finally landed on one that feels right: Show Pony’s Wildfire. It fits. And yeah… it might change again tomorrow—but for now, this one’s sticking.
We open every Full Ride —with Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey—a nod to the nickname, The Show Pony, and the spirit of letting it run.
Today’s episode is a true behind-the-curtain look at what makes the daily machine run. My guest is our fearless producer—an absolute staple of the operation—“The American Treasure,” Allie Gehring. If you’ve ever listened to Full Ride and wondered how the sausage gets made… this is the episode.
Here she is unfiltered. The fabulous,esteemed, gifted, and oh so lovely, American Treasure.
The one and only Allison Gehring pulls no punches:
What it’s really like managing my ADHD brain firing in 12 different directions at once
How she navigates Rick Neuheisel’s… let’s call it confidence (she might use a stronger word)
The real, unfiltered process of building a national radio show every single day
We get into show prep, last-minute guest chaos, segment timing, and the stuff you never hear on air—the stress, the laughs, and the moments where it all goes off the rails.
It’s honest, it’s a little chaotic, and it’s exactly what Show Pony’s Wildfire is going to be: real conversations, great stories, and a peek inside the world of sports media from people actually living it.
Lets’s go!
