Wyman Williams, long time proprietor of Williams Motors in Commerce, discusses the future of the electric car, whose popularity is suffering lately because of low gasoline prices.  Wyman says electric cars were marketed about 100 years ago, but the same battery challenges involving driving range and cost existed then.  Wyman is director of development for the Texas A&M University-Commerce College of Business.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
