FM Talk 1065 Podcasts works like a rolling archive of Mobile-area talk radio. It is broad by design. The feed jumps from food to football, from golf to state politics, from weekend weather to listener texts about spring break. That variety gives it a lived-in quality. Sip and Chew is the food anchor, with Mike Bailey and Stuart Reb Donald talking through Gulf Coast restaurants, local chefs, MoonPie wine pairings, barbecue, offal, servers, and the long memory of Mobile dining rooms. The tone there is expert but never precious. Southern Fairways Sports Radio brings golf, Pro Rivals, Palm Beach, Lakewood, former pro athletes, John Smoltz, coaches, sponsors, and Saturday-morning sports chatter into the mix. The Thompson Tractor Prep Sports Report keeps the focus closer to home, with Randy Bergen, Coach Rick Cleveland, Coach Mark Lassiter, guests such as Frida Rambo, and stories around tournaments, school sports, faith, and community ties. Mobile Mornings is more everyday. It watches fog, drought, light traffic, spring break, boat mishaps, and texts from people moving through the same roads and weather as the hosts. The Jeff Poor Show is sharper and more political, moving through Alabama elections, Mo Brooks, campaign mailers, the Alabama High School Athletic Association, the CHOOSE Act, Israel, Iran, and listener pushback. The Jolene Roxbury Variety Hour adds old-radio playfulness, quick jokes, songs, spring cleaning, blustery weather, and Roxbury Farms atmosphere. The whole feed has the pace of live local radio. It repeats numbers, circles back, gets distracted, and then finds the point again. That looseness is part of the product. For listeners who want polished national analysis, it may feel crowded. For listeners who want Mobile voices talking through food, sports, politics, weather, and community life in real time, it has plenty to catch.
Made for: Best for listeners who like live-feeling local radio, especially Mobile and Gulf Coast conversations about food, sports, weather, community events, and Alabama politics. It also fits anyone who enjoys busy talk shows with caller texture, sponsor breaks, and regional references.
What sets it apart: The feed’s strength is its range: chef rankings, prep sports, golf, morning-weather chatter, variety comedy, and state politics all live under one station banner. It sounds less like a curated national podcast and more like a week of local radio preserved intact.
