Newnan Podcast with Harold

We give our honest thoughts on the 2026 Newnan Porchfest (recorded before we attended)

At 15 years old, I got my first job. Ellis, Greg, Deborah, and a cast of terrible influences (jk) made my first 2 years in the workforce memorable and rewarding. This is that story. 

Regardless of how you feel about the District 3 Candidates, we sat down with Tim Ryan before anyone else last year and heard about his vision. Take a listen IF YOU WANT I WONT MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING! *This is 2 parts combined into 1, recorded late September 2025*

It is Mother's Day Evening and everyone is asleep. Well, almost everyone. Newnan Time with Harold is going to push forward to make sure YOU have a new episode every Monday morning! We tried recording on Tuesday, but we lost power for a few hours! Listen now to learn about my mom, NHS, Letters to the Editor, and Lighthouses. 

We haven't just hit record and started talking in a while, so this episode covers 100 (ok, not quite) things I wanted to talk about! Put on your seat belt, tighten your football gear, and hold hands with a stranger. It's a great new episode! 

"Sprayberry's Barbecue had its beginnings as Houston Sprayberry's gas station located on Highway 29 just north of downtown Newnan. In 1926, Houston was selling enough barbecue sandwiches from the back of the station to close the pumps and become a restaurant. With his barbecue sauce and wife Mattie Lou's Brunswick stew, Sprayberry's Barbecue became Newnan's most popular eating spot." Our formally planned podcast has been postponed due to HOSPITALS, TIGERS, AND BEARS OH MY! But here is the greatest apology ever recorded on tape. Sprayberry BBQ. Please Listen. I love you. 

I finally did it—I learned what my zodiac sign actually is, and yeah… it explains a lot. In this episode, I dive into what my sign means, the traits, the stereotypes, and whether the universe has been calling me out this whole time. Some of it felt way too accurate, some of it I’m still side-eyeing, but either way it got interesting fast. If you’ve ever wondered why you are the way you are—or just want to hear me spiral a little—give it a listen. New episode out now.

To summarize: Harold could not record anything this week, but thankfully, he has funnier friends than he could ever be! This is a very special episode, one you've gotta make time out of your life to hear, from Jeff!

"This podcast is about Men striving to be the kind of men who MOTIVATE, EQUIP, LEAD, OWN #MELO. We talk about life and what it means to live out these principles. We don't have the answers but we attempt to get a deeper understanding through intentional conversation." 

"This podcast, I had the pleasure to interview the man behind the creative website/brand "Newnan Time With Harold". In this episode, we dive into how Harold enjoys a good muscadine and some of the creative ideas that he has posted over the past couple of years. Please go give him a follow and show him some love." - Potty Thoughts

This week, Harold sits down with the one and only Hanley for a candid look at her past year: the highs, the challenges, and what real fulfillment looks like in her life right now. She also answers the big question: What can Coweta County do for her? It’s honest, funny, and full of the kind of truth only Hanley & Harold deliver.

Goldens on the Square is like stepping into a dream where the furniture might be plotting against you with sticky insults, but the humans are knights in gold armor to protect you. The food is fine: solid, mostly safe, could be bolder, could be tastier, but at least nothing made me vomit face emoji. The salads are the shining star in a constellation of predictability.

Newnan needs MORE bad boys, and we've got all the advice on how to make that happen. Additionally, Project Sail's opponents fight me, and John Reidelbach's name is weird.
