  Episode 309: Scott Hanson

  Sep 12, 202640 minS3

  7 hours of WCYS Podcasting starts NOW! This week, we welcome Scott Hanson, the host of NFL’s RedZone and NBC’s GoldZone. While many of us know Scott from his 10-4 marathons every Sunday, on this episode, we get to hear about a different Scott Hanson-one who started way up in Traverse City, Michigan in a market number higher than most combined football scores. From there, he tells about a moment in his life where he stopped being a sportscaster for himself and became a sportscaster for the audience. Eventually, after bouncing around the country, Scott became the face of NFL’s RedZone. Throughout 17 seasons of seven straight hours of coverage every Sunday, Scott learned how to maintain the energy we love RedZone for. While Scott may be the face of one of the largest sports shows in the country, he doesn’t feel like he’s made it. As Scott puts it, “I am not as good now as I hope to be at the end of next year.” To him, RedZone means being in the moment, doing what he loves, and doing it for the fans. You can catch Scott Hanson on NFL RedZone every Sunday during the NFL regular season, or on NBC’s GoldZone during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

  308: Victoria Chen

  Jun 29, 202637 minS3

  Attention listeners! We just got word that our episode is officially up to code! This week, we welcome Victoria Chen; architect, project manager, and founder of Evocate Group. Just like in building plans, her life went through many drafts along the way. Before architecture, she started off taking the floor at a DSW warehouse as a sales associate, never having sold a shoe in her life. Before long, her path led her to pursuing a career in architecture, where she now works as a project manager. Day to day, her duties are critical to ensure that her clients’ dream additions to their homes are up to code and able to see fruition! And just like the client’s homes she is helping to expand, her ambitions expand as well. Don’t expect to see Victoria sticking around for too long, as her future plans align with the hustling world of real estate and hotel management!

  307: Ken Kwapis

  May 2, 202635 min

  Leah Ettinger: https://www.butwhatireallywanttodoisdirect.com/#new-release Chris Ashe: Quiet on set! Aaaaand Action!!! This week on “When Can You Start?” we speak to legendary Hollywood director and author, Ken Kwapis! You may recognize his name as director of projects such as Malcolm in the Middle, He’s Just Not That Into You starring Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, and Jennifer Aniston, and being one of the founding fathers behind The Office. While his resume may be extensive, he started off directing afterschool specials for CBS Afternoon Playhouse including the episode “Revenge of the Nerd.” That kindled a career that spanned over 40 years, solidifying his status as a television directing legend. But wait, there’s more! For a blast of nostalgia, you can see Ken’s latest work on Hulu “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair”. Or you can stay tuned to learn about an incredible documentary about the Shaggs titled “We Are The Shaggs” which recently premiered at the South By Southwest Film Festival. For an even more in depth dive into the mind of Ken Kwapis, read his book, “But What I Really Want to Do is Direct” which is available on Amazon or by using the link below! https://www.butwhatireallywanttodoisdirect.com/#new-release
