Chow TV: San Antonio Locals on Networking, Gambling, and the Spurs (S1E1)

Описание: Welcome to the first episode of Chow TV (S1 E1)

Chow TV is a new podcast hosted by co-hosts Sling, Larry, and Steve, all of whom are born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. The hosts introduce the show as a long-awaited platform designed to be a positive voice for people who feel they haven't been heard. While admitting they do things "awkwardly," the goal is to spread a positive message. The hosts who bring different dynamic backgrounds plan to discuss everything from local life, such as their experiences owning businesses like Countdown City Cuts, to personal stories, the importance of networking (word-of-mouth marketing), and topics like sports (including the Spurs) and sports betting. The show also highlights positive community initiatives, such as BNN Sports Bar's annual back-to-school event.

Meet the Hosts & Their History:

Sling & Larry: Their friendship goes way back, with a history in the bar business; Sling owned a neighborhood bar, and Larry used to help out at a bar on the West Side.

Larry : Known for being "in the mix of a lot of things," Larry is often the one everyone laughs at, but he's everywhere and been doing everything.

Steve: A Southside native and owner of Countdown City Cuts, Stephen is a co-host who works hard and knows a lot of people. He's been cutting hair since he was 12 and bought his business around 10 years ago.
