Glen Kuiper was the voice of the Oakland A’s for over two decades—until one on-air slip changed everything. In this gripping episode of The Back Nine, Glen tells his side of the story : what really happened during that fateful pregame segment, how corporate pressure forced a rushed apology, and the painful aftermath of being publicly canceled for something he says was a mispronunciation and would be completely opposite his character.

This conversation goes way beyond sports. It’s about identity, reputation, and resilience in the face of a firestorm. With honesty and humility, Glen reflects on losing his dream job, discovering who his real friends are, and how he’s trying to write a new chapter as we put the ball in play, on the Back 9.
