Pioneer Broadcaster John W. Butler Releases New Book

John Butler intended to make a quick sweep across America to check its pulse, but his trip turned into an unexpectedly inspiring loop-de-loop of 33,321 miles.

Butler, a member of the TAB Board of Directors and Owner of KMOO Mineola and KWJB Canton, is an authentic voice with stories from the roads less traveled, the diners more deliciously greasy, and the people more real than anything you'll see on cable news.

Leaving behind the convenience of his Dallas home and ease of air travel, Butler outfitted a Aistream Sprinter and headed out to find the essesne of America.

The stories in the book don't focus on sound bites or pre-staged interviews. Rather, Butler took some deep dives into peoples' normal lives - the vibe of where they live, their friends/family/neighbors and where they dine, shop, worship, watch local high school sports teams and much more.

Awaken your inner wanderlust as you embark with the author, a disillusioned Texas radio personality, who swaps his broadcast desk for a rambling journey through small towns, vibrant cities, and sprawling countryside in search of our country's heart and maybe even its soul.
