    Default Ted Williams, the homeless radio man with a golden voice, lands a new job and home!

    Golden-Voiced Homeless Man Captivates Internet - Amplifier

    What an incredible story about a man getting a second chance at life: Ted Williams, a homeless man who was a former radio announcer, ends up becoming a viral web hit, and now, he has landed a new job and home! During hard economic times, he struggled with drugs and alcohol, but has now been sober for two years, hoping for a second chance at life, and now, he has finally achieved his dream. What a great way to start off the new year.
    Is that your final answer?

    I heard about this on the radio this morning. I thought it was a really cool story. I liked how instead of just begging for change he'd hold a sign that read "will work for food".

    Saw this in the news the other day, and it made me chuckle. A real feel-good story if there ever was one.

    Neither are homeless people. They smell awful.

    To quote Ted Williams himself, "don't judge a book by its cover." And show some empathy too; what if you were homeless?

    Impossible. I can't be homeless, I'm a person.

    I saw this, too. Go Magic Voice Man! Why didn't you do this before though? Surely he could've busted out a job before getting faced and jacking up his life. Oh well. Go Magic Voice Man!
