    This is not an interview show. It’s one DFW blogger sitting down with the week, the city, and the page. I write about Dallas–Fort Worth the way I live it — the highways, the neighborhoods, the food, the ordinary days that somehow become the story. On the podcast I unpack those notes out loud: what I’m seeing, what I’m trying to say, and what this place keeps teaching me. If you like local writing that doesn’t need a guest list to feel complete, this is that show.

We’ll laugh at the strange things people do behind the wheel, question how much time speeding really saves, and reveal the real consequences of reckless driving. It may be funny until someone is injured or killed—and an entire family’s future is changed forever. Buckle up for another DFW Blogger podcast.
