Whatever happened to Don Williams? He did Sportstalk for awhile and, I tihnk did something with our football radio broadcasts.

And is Teddy Hefner still around?

Don Williams worked for the Clemson broadcasting operation for awhile- or the company who had the rights- that was a few decades ago.

The only thing I know Don does is cover The Masters for Phil's sports talk show. Don calls him from the payphones at Augusta during Masters week and talks to Phil on the air. Don has been doing that for decades. Still does it.

I haven't listened to Teddy in years. He's just too boring. I think he has a morning Columbia radio show on one of those super weak AM stations that you have to be near to hear. I use to listen to him but I have not even heard his voice in 10+ years.

As I recall, Teddy's show was mostly him reading the newspaper to his audience, saving them a buck I suppose.

Phil has his show on form 6-8pm in the evenings- still broadcast on various channels around South Carolina. Phil is usually in the Columbia studio but broadcasts a fair amount from the beach in the summer. No plans that I know of to retire. It's also broadcast on video too.

I think Phil's show is better now than it ever has been to be honest. He talks about various issues, takes pretty strong opinions, and takes phone calls. He also has good guests and he still shows up at all the USC and Clemson stuff and asks good questions to people in charge.

SportsTalk is Phil Kornblut and Chris Burgin

He also still does his Friday night 10pm-midnight radio show of high school football coverage in the fall.

He does a solid job.

His sidekick also does a good job- he broadcasts out of his home down in Sardis, SC. They have their studio guy (call screener guy) who is much younger and chimes in a little.

I listen online as the radio station in Columbia is hard for me to pick up where I live.

Thanks for the heads up. I listen to archived podcasts on my morning walks; it looks the most recent show is there for streaming. I’ll put Phil in the rotation.

Hung out with my nephew over the weekend. He's a big time PSU fan, so we were talking about the upcoming season and our schedules. He rattled off their conference games (Wisc, NW, Mich, SoCal, Purdue, Wash, Minnesota, Rutgers) and then asked about ours. I was halfway through our conference schedule when he laughed and said "good grief! that's brutal." He said if you picked 5 random games from the SEC it would be a tougher schedule than playing the 5 best teams from the Big 10.
