Welcome back to another episode of the Semoball Podcast. Episode 20, to be exact. Thanks for joining us.

This is a SEMO-centric pod, as we talk Southeast Missouri State football and men's and women's basketball, as well as catch up with a SEMO alum.

In the first segment (3:40), Southeast Missourian and Semoball sports editor Josh Mlot (@semoballJosh) sits down with SEMO beat writer Trent Singer (@semoballTrent) to catch up with where Redhawks football is at this point in the season, before going in depth on the men's and women's basketball teams to preview the seasons ahead.

In the second segment (57:12), Mlot interviews Brian Roth (@stlambush2013), a Southeast Missouri State alumnus and currently the general manager of the St. Louis Ambush, a professional indoor soccer team. The two talk about what Roth's job actually entails, his path from SEMO to the Ambush and the re-imagining of Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City. Then Roth offers up his fan voice on Redhawks sports — the good and bad — as he flies his passionate flag.
