    #169 Mountains, Mystery and Mitch

    My nephew, Mitch Goddard, joins me on View from a Hearse to talk about his debut novel, Beneath the Flame Azalea — a page-turning mystery inspired by the mountains of western North Carolina. An avid fly fisherman and Ole Miss journalism graduate, Mitch fulfilled a lifelong goal of writing a novel at age forty while balancing family and career. We talk about the moment the story first took shape on a mountain trail, the discipline it took to finish the book, and why readers say they can’t put it down. If you love great storytelling, mountain settings, and a good mystery, you’ll enjoy this conversation.

    #168 Live at Smoke Rise

    This is a live presentation from an event I did for a rather large ladies' banquet at Smoke Rise Baptist Church in Stone Mountain, GA, in March of 2022. There is a message or two here, but humor is involved.

    #167 In Memory of Mister Elwood

    Our granddog, Mister Elwood , was a Standard Golden Doodle, they say. But he was anything but standard. He came into the world almost 11 years ago. He left us much too soon. This is a little of his story and my feeble attempt to describe the impact this rambunctious, clumsy doodle had on Luke, Drew, Lennox, Hines, Lincoln, and Naia Goddard - and on all of us who knew him. Dogs like Mister Elwood teach us so much. Many of you can relate.

    #166 Walter Forsling - A Great American

    My conversation is with 99-year-old Walter Forsling. He talks a lot about his life, the changes he has seen in his lifetime, and his service in the US Navy during World War II. Few members of the Greatest Generation remain who can be interviewed for a podcast. Walter Forsling is one of the few.

    My guest is my lifelong friend, Bunny Fuller Harris, Taylor County Lady Viking and Lady Georgia Bulldog extraordinaire.  She provides a behind-the-scenes look at receiving the call informing her that she had been selected for the 2026 Class of the Georgis Sports Hall of Fame.  She also discusses her journey to get there.

    #164 My Mother in Law - Ms Irene

    A poem I wrote in 2003 to honor my mother in law on her 75th birthday, She was not the Widow of Zerapath, but the lessons from her life are very much the same.

    #163 Who is Charlie Kirk?

    We know he was assassinated on September 10, 2025, in Utah while debating those who oppose him. In this episode, you will hear enough from him to form a better opinion - especially if you have heard only soundbites taken out of context. I'll let you decide.

    #162 Deleted Voicemails

    As I began to put this 15-minute episode together, it became clear these deleted voicemails were not only a microcosm of my career but also of my life. You will listen to controlled chaos until it not controlled anymore. I believe you can relate too.
