The Drive

The Drive

The game-winning drive. A successful drive to the basket. Line drives, a drive down the center of the fairway, your favorite team driving you crazy. And, of course, the drive you take every day with the Sports Animal. Welcome to The Drive, weekdays 9a-12p, is hosted by Matt Ravis, produced by Matt Meyer and features Coach Pat Jones live from Tulsa at 10am and Mark Rodgers at 11! To me, the word ‘drive’ evokes a sense of forward motion. It’s also a reminder that YOU help drive the conversation.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
