COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Job prospects are rolling in for a homeless Ohio man with a golden radio voice who has quickly become an online sensation.
The Columbus Dispatch reports video of Ted Williams posted this week on the newspaper’s website has commanded millions of views.
In the clip, Williams stands near a Columbus highway ramp demonstrating his smooth, deep speaking voice. He holds a sign that asks motorists for help and says, “I’m an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times.”
Williams, a Brooklyn, N.Y., native says he had trouble with drugs and alcohol and is now two years sober.
