Fort Worth Weekly Critic's Choice Podcast of the Year

"Fort Worth's Monday morning meeting." - Bud Kennedy

Do you love Fort Worth and care about what goes on in our amazing city? Well, welcome to the 817 Podcast, a weekly Monday morning show hosted by two Fort Worthians who banter and dissect the biggest stories in local culture, politics, and business. EJ Carrion is a local entrepreneur, and Ann Zadeh is a former city council member.

Ann and EJ will host a diverse guest list of local leaders that drive Fort Worth’s future. We believe Fort Worth can be a nationally known destination for innovation, creativity, and economic opportunity. However, the climate in the city today is polarizing between an evolving community that deals with historic Cowtown roots and a wave of progressive newcomers. What we do today and in the next decade is crucial to the future of the Funk. How we respond to political friction, wealth inequality, and social injustice in our communities can make or break our national reputation.

Join us weekly as we do our part to prevent either from happening. Do you have a story you want us to highlight? DM us @817pod on Instagram or email us at 817podcast@gmail.com.

    The Role of Local Journalism with Bradford William Davis
    Dec 22 2025

    We spoke with award-winning journalist Bradford William Davis, the former opinion columnist at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, who was recently laid off after writing several amazing articles that were critical to Mayor Mattie Parker.

    We focused on three of his most recent stories:

    • Mayor Mattie Parker should listen to her own words as she faces her critics
    • Don’t be so quick to judge intent behind a casket left at mayor’s house
    • Father cared for disabled son for years, until ICE took him away

    And we also talked about the series of articles he's working on about the relationship between transit, sports, and climate impact.
