And now the show with the most handsome voice talent working today, it's common sense

with Bill Barrett hosted by that Dan Carlin guy.

That voice that you heard just there in the introduction as he said himself was Bill

Barrett.

The number one choice that I would have had if somebody had said to me in 2005 when

we started podcasting that you could have any sort of big voice and answer in the entire

world who would you pick?

And I would pick Bill Barrett for reasons that will become apparent, I think, as we talk

about him.

We lost him yesterday, August 17th, 2022 to cancerous.

So many of us have lost friends and relatives to that terrible disease.

And in Bill's case, I wanted to do this tribute because of all he's done for us.

I hope that Bill's family and friends are okay with this.

But given all that he's done for us, it would be ungrateful, I think, to not celebrate

this amazing person.

And first of all, point out that what you hear when you hear Bill in any of our shows is

a tiny fraction of what Bill does, Bill was not a voice announcer as a main gig.

That was just sort of a little side gig he did.

Bill was a star in the Pacific Northwest up here and in country music radio bill is a

celebrity.

I mean, this is a guy who has gone into the country radio hall of fame.

He spent almost half a century in radio just in the area that I live in, even longer.
