I'm Joshua Williams, a versatile on air sports play by play and on air host that brings [5]

years in broadcasting with a lot experience in sports talk radio hosting NFL Weekly for

AFN, Sports Talk in the Morning for 91.7 FM, The NFL Today for Fox Sports Radio, and

calling over 30 play by play games on a national level. I bring a variety of talent and

passion in my shows, I captivate our listeners and talk about the topics they want to hear.

I'm a poised and confident broadcaster with a strong speaking voice and a talent for on air

interviewing and calling play by play.

Though since covering my last game with the AFN, I've decided to take a break from

a solidified home.
