Date: May 29, 2024 Name of podcast: Backstage Pass Radio Episode title and number: S6: E9: Bill Brown (Houston Astros Hall of Fame Broadcaster - Voices of the GameSHOW SUMMARY:My neighbor and Hall of Fame sportscaster Bill Brown, "Brownie," steps up to the mic, not for play-by-play, but for a heart-to-heart on his 30-year love affair with sports broadcasting and the Houston Astros. As we peel back the curtain on the meticulous world of commentating, from gripping hockey games to the narrative-laden pastime of baseball, Brownie opens the vault of his personal and professional highs, including his cherished induction into the Astros' Hall of Fame. But it's not just about the roar of the crowd; we swing into his life's other passions—golf, photography, and the community ties that root us all, inspired by figures like my own father.  With Brownie's storytelling, we're carried through the rhythms of a broadcaster's game day—an early rise, pre-game prep through the final call, and the post-game wrap-up. Discover the unseen challenges, the dedication to craft, and the importance of staying nimble on your feet, especially when the unexpected rain delay throws you a curveball. Then, we step into the bittersweet reality for local broadcasters during the postseason, where the deep-seated connections to their team are put on pause, and the airwaves are commanded by national voices—a stark contrast to the familiar cadence they provide all season.  But wait, there's more than just calls and commentary. Brownie guides us through the world of sports memorabilia, sharing a poignant tale involving Nolan Ryan, and the complexities of baseball's unwritten rules, from retaliation tactics to when to hang up the headset for family time. In a reflective swing, we return to the broadcast booth after retirement, diving into Brownie's passion for writing and the controversial MLB sign-stealing scandal he experienced firsthand. Lastly, we capture the essence of life's richness as Brownie illustrates his journey into photography, threading it with the joy of golf, and the powerful act of giving back within our community, leaving us inspired to find those intersections in our own lives. Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COM Backstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/bill.brown.7921 Call to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.
