Longtime Newnan resident and "Voice of the Hawks" for 37 seasons, Steve Holman was recently selected for induction into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. 

A Massachusetts native, Holman’s first radio job was as a 17-year-old high school senior at WCCM, where he got to work under sportscasting icon Curt Gowdy, who owned the station. 

Holman has been involved in the NBA since the early 1970s when he was broadcast assistant to the Boston Celtics' late play-by-play legend Johnny Most. 

His 2,766th consecutive game is scheduled for Wednesday night as the Hawks take on the Orlando Magic.

The art of blacksmithing has a long, rich history but due to technological advances, some traditional arts like blacksmithing are in danger of dying out; however, artisans like Sharpsburg's Michael Sebacher keep these arts alive today. Sebacher created the Artisans Heritage Guild, a local coalition of accomplished artisans dedicated to teaching others and starting a school of traditional arts.

Coweta County is a community that loves its veterans and a good chunk of fan base includes local students. This in part due to the work of Steve Quesinberry and Frank Henderson at Newnan High School who are part of the history department that continues to showcase the amazing stories and sacrifices of veterans, both local and from across the country.

In this episode, Steve talks about the history program, why students gravitate towards veterans affairs and a little about his love for the Beatles.

Mr. Carl Ware is one of the greatest success stories to come out of Coweta County. 

Born in Arnco back in the segregated south of 1943, he grew up on a sharecropper farm and eventually ascended into the world of Atlanta politics, revolutionizing how city business was run with the implementation of the "25-percent policy."

Ware, The Coca-Cola Company’s first black group president, talks about how he used his power to hasten the end of the apartheid regime in South Africa.

Ware helped revolutionize the corporate work environment for women and minorities with a legacy built on inclusivity. He recently published his autobiography - “Portrait of an American Businessman” - and he was kind enough to drop by to speak about the book and his incredible journey.

With Labor Day upon us, Toby and Clay get excited about college football, the possibility of cooler temperatures (someday...) and family estate planning! 

After a brief summer hiatus, Toby and Clay return with a new podcast, catching up on all the good stuff happening in life and in Newnan.

Faced with a crippling case of podcasters block, Toby, Clay and Elijah fall back on what always works – talking about what's going on downtown. It inevitably leads to something, right?

Lenn Wood, a Coweta native and current candidate for the office of sheriff, has served for a number of years as the president of the Georgia Association of SROs and was sworn in as acting sheriff after Mike Yeager’s retirement earlier this year.

Wood rose through the ranks at NPD where he ended up as a detective sergeant before joining the sheriff’s office in 1995 based on his interest in the School Resource Officer program.

In this episode, we take a look back to last year when Newnan was ground zero for a standoff between Neo-Nazis and a large group of counter-protesters. 

With memories of the tragic Charlottesville rally still vivid, the city was under the microscope of global media. 

In this episode, Toby and Clay welcome special guest Elijah Lees who made the decision to live stream the entire event from his Facebook account. 

All three take a look at the day from their unique vantage points and discuss how they think the city fared and what they learned from the event.

In this episode, Toby and Clay talk about what makes downtown Newnan so special and Toby's passion for beekeeping and country living. 

In this two-part episode, we talk with Mike Yeager who resigned this year to take on a new role as U.S. Marshal after 26 years as Sheriff of Coweta County. Yeager talks extensively about his history in law enforcement, including his race for sheriff in 1992, the historic Rainwater murder case, challenges he faced along the way and what he thinks about the future of law enforcement.

He’s been in law enforcement for over 20 years and in this episode, Callaway talks about the future of law enforcement in Coweta County and his goals if elected sheriff.

In this episode, Toby and Clay talk about making good time on road trips, vacation destinations and recovering from those vacations. Toby professes his love for Panama City Beach and why he'll never leave without an airbrushed t-shirt. 

In the first episode of That One Time, Toby Nix and Clay Neely determine it might be a good idea to have an introductory episode as their first podcast instead of jumping right into episodes about why they love Panama City Beach.
