Kathie's note: I worked with Ted on the Longhorn Radio Network in the late aughts. He was the scoreboard reporter, based in Dallas, and I was running the audio board in Lexington, Kentucky. The Craig we talk about in this episode is Craig Way, play-by-play announcer for Texas. I've met up with Craig a few times in real life, but the first time I laid eyes on Ted, albeit via Zoom, was during this interview in July 2023.
