Parkins has been at Fox Sports since 2024 after he spent nearly a decade hosting afternoon drive in Chicago on 670 The Score. Parkins is returning to his hometown this week to host his annual "Radiothon," something he first did in 2005 as a high school student. The conversation begins there, where Parkins first found a microphone, which led him to Syracuse, and he'll tell the story of the time Jim Boeheim called into his radio show, why he spent his first year out of college playing poker, and what led him back to Syracuse to take a $9/hour job, which eventually led him to a full-time hosting role in Kansas City.
