D Magazine's EarBurner

What happens when you don't schedule a guest and then, at the last minute, when your magazine deadline ends, you decide to drink some beers and do an "ask me anything" session? This. This is what happens. Ray Hunt's tower, which writer is most successful, the Cotton Bowl — the boys tackle some disparate topics.

Sara Grace has appeared on the cover of Vogue walked the runway at New York Fashion Week for Calvin Klein. She's a big deal. How the Bedford teen was discovered is an unlikely story. The owners of Wallflower Management, Brenda Gomez and Tammy Theis, sit down at Shoals Sound & Service to spin the yarn for your cocktail-swilling co-hosts, Kathy Wise and Holland Murphy. Bottoms up!

Mel Kyle is sort of a historian of Dallas rap. Bro knows much. His band's new album, "Fuel City," just by its title, shows how dedicated he is to the local scene. Check out his thoughts on weed, music, the Confederate flag, and baby strollers. Plus, at the end of the show, Mel and host Tim Rogers play iPhone roulette, and Erykah Badu gets involved. Fifteen stars!

Daron Babcock is the founder of Bonton Farms, an amazing place that is attempting to solve the food desert problem in South Dallas (and where East Dallas moms go to get fresh goat milk). Trisha Cunningham is the new CEO of the North Texas Food Bank. So what we're saying here is that this episode of BraBurner, hosted by Kathy Wise and Holland Murphy, is all about food. Even though that's a mouth-centered topic, you should use your ears to listen.

The Dallas Theater Center this year won a Tony Award for best regional theater. If you think its artistic director, Kevin Moriarty, let that go to his head — YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Tim and Zac talk with him about why he's such a badass and how Dallas audiences react to naked bottoms. Six stars!

Eight years ago, Jay started cooking pizzas in his backyard oven just for fun. Today he oversees a vast Cane Rosso pizza empire that sprawls from Houston to Austin to The Star in Frisco. Tim and Zac talk with him about how he did it, the pizza magazine the three plan to launch together, and dirty feet. Oh, also, they come up with a great new slogan for the city of Addison. Five stars!

How is it possible that a trove of information describing Ezekiel Elliott's alleged abuse has been online since last September and Kathy Wise was the first person, only just now, to report on it? She explains how that happened and why she, a lawyer, believes the victim's story. We also talk about the worst op-ed writer in Dallas and the best new bookstore in town. Get to it!

A while back, Will wrote a novel that had, as they say, "heat." He quit his day job and suddenly found himself having odd meetings in Los Angeles. Things didn't exactly work out. A decade later, he's got a new novel, "The Neon Palm of Madam Melancon." You should read it. And you should listen to this 8-star podcast.

Mary has worked for eight years on a story about a young black man who was sent to the electric chair in 1956 for a crime he didn't commit. His name was Tommy Lee Walker. An all-white jury convicted him of raping and murdering a white woman named Venice Parker. On August 3, we exhumed Venice in an effort to exonerate Tommy Lee. In this episode, Mary talks about what happened.

Eric is a libtard yellow dog Democrat. And yet he finds himself now deeply in love with guns. A few months back, he acquired his first firearm, and now he can't stop. Zac and Tim talk with their old buddy about why he is crazy and what they can do to help him.
