Awful Announcing Podcast

Bill Walton died on May 27, 2024 at the age of 71. Bill meant a lot to us at Awful Announcing, so we wanted to do something special. We invited a few of Bill's many friends and broadcast partners to tell stories and memories of the Basketball Hall of Famer and legendary broadcaster. Sit back with host Brandon Contes and guests Jason Benetti, Roxy Bernstein, and Dave Pasch as we celebrate the life of Bill Walton.For even more discussion, head over to awfulannouncing.com and follow us on Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, TikTok, Bluesky, and YouTube: @awfulannouncing.-:20: Welcome Jason Benetti to the Awful Announcing Podcast-:50: Bill making the most out of his life-2:57: Emotions this week-5:50: Creative freedom of working with Bill-7:37: Knowing Jason would like working with Bill at first-11:10: First broadcast with Bill-14:02: First conversation with Bill-14:15: Building chemistry with Bill-17:55: Shift in Bill’s broadcasting style from NBA to college-19:07: Pressure to need to entertain?
