I'm Dave Williams.

After many years of doing news/talk radio I'm ready to stretch out to long-form conversation.

Podcasting is still young and developing. Some of the experts say radio people are no good at it because we sound plastic, too slick. I take that to mean I should sound less professional. Heck, I can do that.

These same experts say a podcast has to be very narrowly focused on a particular subject to gain a following.

Tell that to Joe Rogan.

I'm interested in lots of things, in people and subjects beyond number and description. Aren't you? Sure you are. Hope you like what I offer and will tell your friends.

Email me: dave@conversations.buzz

You can hear my Dallas morning radio show with my partner, Amy Chodroff, at KLIF.com 5-9 a.m. central time.

MARK AUSTIN THOMAS retired after a long and distinguished career as a broadcast journalist. Here, he talks with Dave Williams about his radio experience and about race relations. This is an enlightening conversation. Highly recommended.
