Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Wes Durham

Wes loved basketball from an early age and fell in love with the art of storytelling with play-by-playHis dad Woody Durham who was the Voice of the Tarheels was a huge influence in his life and still seeks his advice

Started his career at Radford but knew he would move on since Radford didn’t have a football team

Spent 18-years at Georgia Tech and felt that he wanted to prove that he could do TV and ultimately left Georgia Tech to pursue TV Play-by-Play opportunitiesBefore leaving Georgia Tech he was able to call games opposite of his dad who was calling the games for UNC and it was a thrill

Wes understands the differences between tv play-by-play versus radio play-by-play and just wants to make sure and get out of the way when doing tv but focus on storytelling with radioWords of Wisdom from Wes: “Being a professional means doing something you love on days you don’t feel like doing it.”




Weekly Words of Wisdom:“It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” Coach Paul“Bear” Bryant
