Heartland Bros
Heartland Bros podcast features two brothers, born and raised in Topeka, Kansas. One brother serving in the U.S. Navy, but rooted deeply in heartland values. The other brother holds it down in their hometown, juggling life, family, and work while keeping the Kansas spirit alive. Together, they reconnect through honest conversations about Kansas sports arranging from Jayhawks hoops to Kansas City Chiefs football while reflecting on their childhood, fatherhood, and the paths life has taken them on. Real talk, real heart, and a whole lot of Midwest grit.
