Episode 98B - This is part two of the conversation recorded at
the Westin Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. If you haven't
listened to 98A with Steve French from the Westin make sure you do
so.
In this episode, we talk with news anchor Owen Conflenti, who's
been getting up at 2:30 am for seventeen years to deliver the
morning news in Houston. Owen has amassed a large social media
following of over one million followers on Tik Tok offering a fun
approach to the sometimes heavy work of delivering the news.
Owen and TWM podcast host Mike Schibel were college broadcasting
partners at Emerson College. Winning Associated Press Best College
Sports Radio show two years in a row and play-by-play announcers
for the Emerson basketball team.
In this episode, Mike and Owen talk about some of their past shared
experiences, reminisce on college adventures, and Owen talks about
his connection to the Carolinas. Owen also gets very vulnerable
about his feelings about travel, how this trip was an important
step to regain his desire for future adventures.
This episode also includes a conversation about the shared
experience Mike and Owen had while in Hilton Head and the unique
experiences they had exploring the island.
As friends for over twenty-five years, this episode was meaningful
and a long time coming. A BIG thank you to Steve French and the
team at the Westin Hilton Head for the warm hospitality. We loved
our time in the Low Country and look forward to returning!
