Inside the conversation
Grant Shouse is 22 years old and has been inside 125 high school gyms in Indiana. He wants to be inside every one of them — somewhere north of 410 — before he turns 30.
He's also the inaugural radio voice of the Kokomo Creek Chubs, the city's brand-new Prospect League team, and he calls high school football and basketball across Grant, Wabash and Miami counties for Action Sports Network.
Jason sat down with him to talk about the part of the job nobody sees: what the schedule costs a 22-year-old, why he can't stand listening to his own tape, and the high school football finish he still can't explain — a lateral, a flag, an untimed down, a Hail Mary, and overtime, in a first-round sectional game that ended up on Pat McAfee's show.
Along the way: the rule he invented for whether a gym counts, the man three times his age who convinced him the goal was reachable, why an announcer goes quiet for forty-five seconds after the biggest call of the game, and the reason his dad wanted his middle name to be Espen — spelled E-S-P-N.
