Long-time Pittsburgh Pirates fans know his voice immediately. Lanny Frattare was the voice of the Pirates from 1976 to 2008 as their play-by-play announcer on KDKA. And now he is bringing his charisma and distinctive sound to the newest project for 15241.TODAY talk – interviews with engaging sports figures.

The first two interviews are with Jim Render, retired football coach of the Upper St. Clair Panthers who reached his 400th win this past season. Lanny and Jim talk about when Jim was a player, what he remembers from pivotal games in his career, and what he values most from his 40 years of coaching at USC.

Additional interviews with Steve Blass, Kent Tekulve and the USC Chiefs of Police are available. More interviews with Sean Bryson and Jon Wharton are planned.

Videos can be found at http://15241.TODAY/talk and also run on USC Cable 7.
