Eric Bushman, 4-25-17; Look Up From Your Phone

You can see it in the office, you can see it in your neighborhood and most dangerously you can see it in the streets and sidewalks. All of us walking around with our faces buried into our phones. I recall surveillance footage from a mall somewhere of a person so engulfed with whatever was on…MORE

Nicole Osei, 4/12/2017; An Ode to Milo

Yesterday was National Pet Day and I started thinking about how important my dog Milo is to me. My boyfriend and I adopted him almost ten years ago and our lives have never been the same. I remember when Stephen, who used to volunteer with Paws in the City in Dallas, asked me if he could…MORE

Dave Williams 4/6/2017: Tony Romo – the rich and famous guy next door.

This week the buzz in DFW has been all about Tony Romo. The Cowboys (ex) quarterback announced on Tuesday he’s giving up playing football to explain it to us on TV. When I drove to work Wednesday morning the sign in front of Cowboys World Headquarters, The Star in Frisco, was lit with a simple…MORE

Marlee McCormick 3/28/2017: Where do we come from?

Don’t you get tired of the proverbial “Where do we come from?”  Seems like a tired line, that is until you get excited about finding the answers….and that’s where I find myself now tracing my roots…so the question no longer seems that boring to me. A few years ago at my father’s funeral, I met…MORE

“People say you have a right to your opinion. That’s only half correct. You have a right to an informed opinion. If you don’t know what you’re talking about you should shut the hell up and listen.” – Donald M. Williams I was about 14 or 15 when my dad told me that. It made…MORE

Scott Sidway 2/10/2017: It’s Okay to be Emotionally Invested in Sports

If anyone knows what Atlanta fans are feeling after the most improbable collapse in Super Bowl history, it’s us, Metroplex.

Nicole Osei 2/2/2016; Black History Month is Different This Year

Black History Month is taking on a different meaning for me this year. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household that taught me black history all year. I am half Ghanaian and half African-American and my parents made sure that I knew my history from both sides. At an early age, I…MORE

Because of my work hours here in the radio biz, I usually have some free time in the afternoons. I’ve been searching for a way to spend that time and realized long ago that a part-time job would keep my mind busy and add to my income. So, I’ve tried a few things. They’ve all…MORE

Dave Williams 1/24/17; We’re not supposed to bury our kids

If we’re lucky we make it through most of our lives without being hammered too hard or too often by personal tragedy. Still, life strikes us all with blows that send us to our knees.
