Harrison Spencer was a bright light for South Forsyth football. His performance was on par with other great War Eagle receivers of the past. Camp. Pontrelli. Cruz. So when Harrison announced his commitment to Murray State, it was no surprise. But the story behind the story unveils a cast of characters that could pop up anywhere in America, but are genuinely, uniquely GeorgiaThe live podcast lasted two and a half hours, but was so compelling that it seemed to be over in minutes. Greg Golden and Doug Thomas showed why they are as good as anybody in the business at creating an environment for entertaining conversation, which is at the heart of talk radio. They do it in a way that makes guests comfortable so they can share their thoughts fearlessly, to the delight of those in the live crowd as well as those listening in at home or in the car or on the job. Radio is not dead, it’s just put on a fancy new suit.
The show has been spliced into sections in post-edit, and laid out for you chronologically.
