My name is Dusty, and when introducing myself, I say that that’s my name, not my condition. (Yeah, nobody else laughs either.) I’m a native Texan; Terrell is my hometown, just like Jamie Foxx who’s way more famous. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin with a degree in Communications which essentially means I learned how to talk and not much else. My wife, Wynonne, and I have been married for a loooong time, and we have two daughters and a granddaughter in Tyler. We also have two cats who puke a lot, but isn’t that just what cats do? I’m somewhat of a geek: I love reading science fiction, watching Game Of Thrones, and solving New York Times crossword puzzles. Above all I’m a life-long Dallas Cowboys fan which means half our listeners automatically hate me. Dems da breaks.

Hoodies Now Synonymous With “Hoodlum”?

Watch Out For Phone Scam In Bossier City
It never ceases to amaze me to what lengths criminals will go to steal money. It seems that if they put the same amount of effort into doing something legal, they'd be successful because of sheer tenacity alone.
I don't know about you, but I've got all my phones on the national Do Not Call list, but I'm getting more scam calls than ever on my cell phone...

Most Incredible Easter Candy Made Right Here In Louisiana
I recently had to make a visit to the Velocity Care Clinic on Airline Drive to get a sore throat examined. Sore throats are pretty common, but to radio announcers they're kind of a big deal since we make our livings talking. Anyway, the doctor prescribed some medication and called it in to the Walgreens up the street...
