Samford University professor and accomplished journalism historian Dr. Julie Williams offers her insight into what she teaches, her own personal relationship with media history, and her prognosis and historical perspective on the state of journalism. A big portion of what I just mentioned above is exclusively talked about on Spotify (You're heading over there after this preview, right?) As a point of information, Williams is the 2021 Kobre Award winner for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism History. This was given to her by the American Journalism Historians Association (AJHA), an organization she was once the president of. Below is Dr. William's website. There, you will be directed to find out more about A Rare Titanic Family, her other journalistic works, and more. https://juliewilliamsauthor.wixsite.com/julie-williams Please follow the podcast on whatever podcast platform you listen to.

Okay, this is different than the episodes that I usually post. And this technically isn't a podcast episode. This is an audiobook done in collaboration with author Joshua Lawrence Marvel. I also posted the audiobook in its entirety on YouTube. If you like audiobooks, I am sure that you would enjoy this rather quick read. And if you would want me to talk one-on-one with the author for a podcast episode, please be sure to let me know. Since interviewing Dr. Jay last season, I have been looking for another aspiring writer to be on the show. This reading is the entire audiobook of The Sable Knight: An Epic. It is done in collaboration with the author, Joshua Lawrence Marvel. Playlist on YouTube https://bit.ly/2Yw1een The Sable Knight is read in its entirety by Garret Grove. This work is copyrighted 2020 by the Library of Congress. It is available for purchase on Amazon. The Sable Knight: An Epic by Joshua Lawrence Marvel https://amzn.to/3fNtSNL My setup for the podcast. I think I will put this in the description from now on, just in case anyone is curious. I recorded and edited my audio using Adobe Audition.

For the season finale, a loyal listener and good friend joins the conversation. Even though the direction of the podcast quickly changes, the sole and true reason why Demarion Williams is on the show becomes very evident. Note, this episode was filmed December 06, 2020. https://anchor.fm/garret-grove/message

Nate Barker returns to the show to talk about the same topic: sports. Though this conversation has a similar feel to the first one, it takes a different approach. The dialogue is just as engaging, if not more so. Note, this episode was filmed December 09, 2020. https://anchor.fm/garret-grove/message

Today, I am privileged to talk about video games with Raigen Loose, a fellow student at the University of Southern Mississippi. The conversation is rather lighthearted, but we go very deep into this multi-faceted topic. From personal anecdotes to gaming trends, we try to cover much within our conversation as it relates to this multi-billion dollar industry. https://anchor.fm/garret-grove/message

Today, I am able to delve into the topic of Religion with another esteemed associate of mine, Nathan Zhao. Like the topics of cars and sports, it is very broad. And like the conversations with Brodie and Nate, this one is very good. https://anchor.fm/garret-grove/message

Today, I get to to talk with my uncle Nate Barker about an interest of mine that has become increasingly more important to me: sports. This conversation soon went beyond the realm of sports, but did so in a tasteful and enticing way for both of us. https://anchor.fm/garret-grove/message

Today, I have the privilege to talk about the interest perhaps nearest and dearest to my heart with a good friend and student journalist, Brodie Myers. https://anchor.fm/garret-grove/message
