Voice of the Hawks Bob Rathbun on Preparation, Storytelling, and the Rhythm of the Game

from The Experience: Conversations with Creatives · host Clint Hall

Atlanta Hawks play-by-play legend Bob Rathbun talks about treating every game like a "final exam," finding the story and riding the rhythm of a 48-minute game, on-air chemistry with Dominique Wilkins, lessons from small-town radio, voice craft (the piano trick!), early breaks with Marty Brennaman, why fans remember stories more than stats, Lenny Wilkens' 20-game rule, and why he's bullish on this Hawks roster.   Follow Bob Rathbun: BobRathbun.com Bob Rathbun on X (Twitter) Bob Rathbun on Instagram Bob Rathbun on LinkedIn   Follow Clint Hall: Clint Hall on Instagram Clint Hall on Facebook You can also find me at clinthall.com   Host: Clint Hall Guest: Bob Rathbun Producer: Clint Hall Music: Milton Gardner
