Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Financial Planning
SC Public Radio and Furman University are launching Leading Out Loud, a weekly radio and podcast series hosted by Garrett Stern and Dr. Clemson Turregano. The series debuts November 10, 2026, and airs Tuesdays on all SC Public Radio stations.
Why it matters
The series offers South Carolina listeners weekly, short-form discussion of leadership challenges and opportunities drawn from real-world stories. Listeners can also submit their own leadership experiences and questions through the "LOL mailbag."
Each weekly segment runs four minutes and airs Tuesdays at 6:45 a.m., 8:45 a.m. and 4:44 p.m. on SC Public Radio stations. Dr. Clemson Turregano brings more than 35 years of global leadership development experience, and the source does not detail how many episodes will air in the first season.

Financial Planning Context
Furman University's Center for Innovative Leadership has built its public-facing leadership work around applied case studies, and this weekly series carries that approach onto South Carolina's public radio network. The format places leadership discussion alongside the everyday decision-making that personal financial planning also depends on.
South Carolina listeners can tune in on Tuesday mornings or late afternoon to hear four-minute leadership segments on SC Public Radio stations. The video podcast arriving in January 2027 gives viewers an alternative way to catch the same content.
The takeaway
Short, recurring leadership segments can fit into a busy week and give listeners steady exposure to practical decision-making. Submitting a question through the LOL mailbag is one way to apply the discussion to your own situation.
