Listening For - And Living In - “Glimpses” With Matt Williams

Matt Williams made his name in television with sitcoms that vaulted its stars from stand-up into household names in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

He’s best known as the creator and executive producer of “Roseanne” with Roseanne Barr and “Home Improvement” with Tim Allen.

These days, his multimedia project “Glimpses” - including a book, an audiobook and a podcast - looks beyond the stars on a screen or in the sky, and seeks to spark the light that he says can dwell within us.

A few weeks ago, Matt stopped by our studio here at WUTC as he traveled across Tennessee.
