  • Ted Johnson, author of "Faces I have Seen", joins us for a live interview!
    Faces I Have Seen is a collection of short stories from author Ted Johnson. What started out as his personal diary has grown into much more than just a collection of memoirs. Faces is the evolution of emotions and judgments that lead to spiritual growth when one is open enough to acknowledge it.
    Join Roger (the Admiral), as we spend time with Ted Johnson and we discuss his latest work, his career and inspirations for the craft.
    Further notes (as absconded from Ted's website!):
    Ted Johnson has a successful career as a criminal defense lawyer and is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana. He attended Rice University and Thurgood Marshall School of Law, before moving to Chicago in 1989. He then trained as a prosecutor in the Cook County State Attorney’s Office before moving to Atlanta, Georgia in 1993. In Atlanta, he began his criminal defense career and became a public defender. In 1996 he started his law firm and entered into private practice. He still resides in the Atlanta area.
