The voices of publisher Rick Wamre and contributing editor Jeff Siegel are mainstays in the Lakewood/East Dallas Advocate. But what readers don't get to experience on a monthly basis is what we around the Advocate offices get to enjoy — the two of them bantering about everything from City Hall to predictions on retail development to what East Dallas was like 20 years ago. So we've decided to let readers in on the conversation in a podcast version.

In this week's podcast, blogger Carol Toler, publisher Rick Wamre and Lake Highlands editor Christina Hughes Babb discuss the first female principal at LHHS, and Lake Highlands United Methodist Church's bid to purchase retail space at Walnut Hill and Audelia.
