In this episode, we are joined by long-time political analyst, Bill Crane, seen on WSB-TV and heard on WSB Radio. He also owns a PR firm, CSI Crane. He has been involved with politics and business his whole life. We take a moment to get his backstory, including his decision to leave the family's newspaper business in favor of broadcast journalism. Along they way, he veered into politics, working on several campaigns on both sides of the political aisle. He then worked for the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in the years leading up to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He then moved to a public relations firm before deciding to start his own company in 2009. We wrap up the interview with some of the people and personalities he's met along his journey. Afterwards, Walt and Alan spend a few minutes talking about what they are watching and some podcast shout outs.
