In the second installment of a two-part episode with long-time Owatonna coach and resident, Marc Wiese, we touch on several subjects, including his son Zach's improbable rise from Tier III junior hockey stud, to the Minnesota Gopher backup goalie. 

In the first of 2-part episode featuring the venerable Marc Weise, we sat down for a couple hours in The Fan studio and chatted about everything from the always-exciting Ken Bey golf fundraiser, to his new role with the football program, to sharing special moments as a dad and coach with his sons, Mitch and Zach.    

Jon Weisbrod sits downs with Owatonna High School Hall-of-Famer -- and father of three girls -- Matt Skala. Topics range from football, faith, family and how he made his way back to Owatonna after his promising playing career was ended early due to injury following a pair of stops at two different colleges.

Jacob Ginskey reflects on what happened and how he's moved on following a scary hit that sent him to the emergency room and ended his season in the second quarter against Mayo in the section title game last November.

Join host Jon Weisbrod on this Fathers Day edition of THB Podcast as he chats with the father of Rachel and Jason Williamson, two highly-successful former OHS student athletes. Topics include dealing with devastating injuries to both of his children, navigating the intense recruiting college process and dealing with life after sports. Rich is also a 30-year MSHSL official and gives his perspective on how he's learned to call games throughout his career.  

Host Jon Weisbrod sits down with 2022 Owatonna High School Athletics hall-of-fame inductee, Roy Koenig. Topics range from how he got started in the radio business, to how he met his wife, to his passion for running and covering high school sports.

Jeff Williams talks about his life prior to becoming the head coach of the Owatonna football team, breaks down some of the key components of running a successful program and dispenses a little wisdom beyond the field along the way. It's a can't miss episode.

By the time Alec and I reached the final 90 minutes of what turned out to be a 2-hour, 30-minute conversation, let's just say we were fully embracing the unscripted and easygoing approach of the show and I ultimately decided to cut, clip, edit and arrange this installment into a half-hour block highlighting the best stories, anecdotes, riffs and volleys from our trip down Memory Lane. I did my best to capture the unique atmosphere inside the studio that night and present: Story Time with Alec Holcomb.
