Once upon a time in Radio Land, a towering man strode to a silver microphone and announced to the world these words.

Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am that announcer, and my name is Todd Wilkerson. And this is the show I announce. I'm announcing it right now, in fact. And you have a front row seat to history.
