From KERA News: Editor’s note: Wade Goodwyn, NPR’s longtime national correspondent based in Dallas, died Thursday of cancer at age 63. His friend and former coworker, Rick Holter — also KERA’s longtime vice president of news — has this appreciation. It all started with that voice – a mellifluous bass smoked in barbecue sauce and finished in honey. It’s a voice that defined Texas for NPR listeners across the country and the globe.
