KIX-KLASH RE-HASH
May 4, 2026
Tuesday 5th May 2026
United States Air Force Veteran Jerry Meadows is set to walk from Marshalltown, Iowa to Jacksonville, Florida on February 1. He expects the walk to take at the minimum, six months. Looking to raise funds for veterans and raise awareness of Veterans, Jerry is passionate about completing this walk along with his better half, Virginia.
Meadows joined me on the Morning Kix Start today to talk about the walk and how you can help. Listen below to the Kixcast.
To donate towards The Road Walker Journey with Jerry Meadows, head to bit.ly/2Edxw26.
If you would like to contact Jerry to support the event, contact KIX 101.1. Checks can be made payable to THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT, PO BOX 758541 Topeka, Kansas 66675. On the Memo section of the check write Road Walker.
Keep tuned for updates once Jerry starts his journey to the Wounded Warrior headquarters in Jacksonville.

The song has a lot of truth to it so I had to ask Caryn what does he think of the song?
Accidental Cowgirl is her brand new song.
Welcome to The List,
Spotify is cracking down on robot rock stars, and it’s about time. They’re rolling out a “Verified by Spotify” badge for actual human artists. Light green checkmark means real person, not a laptop having feelings. After deleting 75 million spam tracks, yeah… we needed this. Congrats, humanity, you’re officially fact-checked by Spotify.

David Allan Coe fans just got a surprise from beyond the vault, and it’s not a ghost story. His longtime manager says a shelved 2017 album is finally coming out. Target date is September 6th, what would’ve been his 87th birthday. Unreleased songs, new material, and maybe some outlaw magic. Proof that country legends don’t retire… they just delay their drops.

George Birge almost didn’t make the team, and now he’s out here making charts. He had to win a walk-on golf tournament just for a shot. Then played in front of the coach like his future depended on it. Spoiler alert… it did, and he nailed it under pressure. Moral of the story, clutch swings build country singers.

Big weekend alert, cancel your plans or pretend you had some. The Kentucky Derby is off and running with hats getting bigger than egos. NBA Playoffs round one is wrapping up, brackets already busted. Wuthering Heights hits streaming if you’re feeling dramatic and windswept. And the iHeartCountry Festival 2026 brings the country party without the cover charge.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
