There’s a weird feeling I get at the end of basketball season. It’s the only sport I really follow, so I’m left with a kind of emptiness. It’s probably best described as “what now?” 29 other fan groups will have to deal with that same feeling while one gets to ride the high of a…… MORE

Rick Hadley: 4/27/15 Discovering the Trinity
The Trinity River. The words probably don’t inspire, right? If you’re like most Dallasites you instantly think of that dirty waterway that runs under I-35 south of downtown. Well there’s a lot more to it than that. I recently paid my first visit to the extensive trails located between the levees. And it leads me…… MORE
Robbie Hoy: 4/24/15 A twister! A twister!
It’s that time of year again when the weather starts to get warmer, the blue bonnets are blooming, the fireflies are scattered throughout yards across North Texas… oh yeah and we have to keep one ear open at all times for tornado sirens. I’ve lived through my share of tornadoes, growing up in the DFW…… MORE
Dave Williams: 4/23/15 Storm clouds and brisket
Posted on April 23, 2015 This past weekend Carolann’s brother and his wife came for a visit from their home in San Diego. We took them to the usual places: Dealey Plaza, the Ballpark, Cowboys Stadium. We took pictures of them in fields of bluebonnets and astride the five dollar longhorn in Stockyards Station. But…… MORE
Eric Bushman: 4/22/15 Testing my weakness
Like many of my fellow human beings, I have a few weaknesses. The top of the list is a sandwich. For the past few months, I’ve heard the talk and then saw the signs that a Jimmy John’s was headed across from the parking lot of the station and wondered if it would ever open.…… MORE
Alan Scaia: It really is 1996, isn’t it?!?
This week, after WBAP’s poor judgment in sticking with me despite a ridiculously long amount of time, I returned to work. It feels amazing to return to my “normal life.” Except I can’t walk properly right now because I have what a friend accurately, I feel, described as a superhuman ability to grow bones and my hip bone…… MORE
Rick Hadley: He’s Back!
It was a night I will never forget. Friday, December 5, 2014. Our overnight anchor Tom Clay called to inform me that one of our news department vehicles had been involved in a severe wreck in Wise Co. I knew that there was only one reporter driving a news car that night, so I called…… MORE
Marlee McCormick: Starstruck
Ever been totally “starstruck” when meeting a celebrity? It’s happened to me a couple of times in my life. Once was about eight years ago when I met Rockstar Bret Michaels back stage at one of his concerts during the “Rock of Love” reality TV show phase….being in Radio can have it’s advantages at time…just…… MORE
Kristin Thrower: Something New
In my quest to chase after stories and be inspired by new ideas, I was introduced to a wonderful place over a recent warm Texas weekend. It was not at all obvious, there was no sign directing you to it, but it was there waiting for the lucky adventurer and it was beautiful. I call…… MORE
Rick Hadley: Criminals Stink
I got touched by the long arm of the lawless again. I awoke the morning of my move from a rental house to a new home to find I had been the victim of a smash and grab. The driver side window of my truck was shattered and my recently-purchased aftermarket stereo was…… MORE
