Quinner's Circle
Author: Angie Janacaro
2016 Broadwater High School graduate, Quinn LeLacheur has recently launched an all-sports podcast suitably named Quinner’s Circle. The podcast is a twenty-five-minute, twice-weekly show focusing on the big four professional sports: NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB. It can be found on Spotify and on Apple Podcasts.
Early in Spring 2022, the twenty-four-year-old pulled up stakes and moved to Indianapolis, choosing the Circle City not only because it is the home of his much-loved Indianapolis Colts, but also because the city offers relative proximity to many big sports markets and is an affordable place to live. LeLacheur signed up for a mentor training program through the Broadcasters Sportscasters Mentoring Group (BSMG). The focus of the group is to give prospective broadcasters training and hands-on learning by working one on one with a trained, industry professional inside a broadcast studio. LeLacheur’s mentor is Jake Query, a long-time broadcaster in Indianapolis, currently the co-host of The Kevin and Query show and an announcer for the Indianapolis 500.
LeLacheur sees himself staying in the world of podcasting or radio, citing podcasts as, “Where it’s at to get information out a lot of people and hopefully do it in an entertaining, informative fashion.” As for his current podcast, Quinner’s Circle, he says, “It’s a start, just like everything you need to practice and get reps to be good at what you do.”
LeLacheur will continue working with his mentor, putting out episodes of his podcast and sending out demos to radio stations in hopes of landing his own spot. For now, he sees himself staying in the Indianapolis area, excited for the opportunities it offers and for a chance to watch the Colts win the AFC South this season as predicted in episode 2 of Quinner’s Circle.
