About Conversations with Doug

In April of 2022, Doug McConnell, the beloved host of Open Road, Bay Area Backroads, and Mac & Mutley, suffered a stroke that left him physically incapacitated and unable to continue his on-screen hosting duties. "Conversation with Doug" is a way to bring Doug's voice back. On this podcast, hosted by Open Road producer, co-host and long-time friend, Dan Herz, we will have conversations on various subjects, that hopefully will be of interest to all of you, so you all can get your fix of Doug!
