Musings & Tales

The foundation of a good story begins with a nugget of truth. With a shift of light and shadow, a focus on a detail, a blurring of lines... the storyteller remembers it better. From his home in Asheville surrounded by beautiful mountains, author D. K. Wall shares his stories—thoughtful reflections and original tales drawn from a lifetime in the Carolinas and Tennessee. They all have one thing in common: They're 100% true... except for the parts he makes up. Join author D.K. Wall for Musings & Tales.

  Beacons in the Dark

  Sep 8, 202611 min

  On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, I skip the horror everyone else is retelling this week. Instead, I'm focusing my attention on the beacons of light — boaters racing toward Manhattan, a Newfoundland town throwing open its doors, and the strangers who simply showed up for each other when it mattered most. In today's show, I mention Boat Lift produced by Eyepop Productions and narrated by Tom Hanks. Read Beacons in the Dark on my website Hello, I'm D. K. Wall, author of novels and short stories. Welcome to Musings and Tales. Whether it's a story I'm spinning or a thought I'm sharing from my home here in Asheville, it's all 100% true... except for the parts I make up.

  Sep 1, 202611 min

  Shameless Slow Binge

  Aug 25, 20269 min

  Binge-watching, by my definition, is a relative term — and this week's proof includes a pub argument in Australia, a decades-late appreciation for William H. Macy, and a deadline I might not beat.

  Cantaloupe Hand

  Aug 11, 202613 min

  A wasp turned my hand into a swollen cantaloupe — and somehow, that's not even the worst part of this week's story. Steroid shots, one-handed typing, and a banana I dared myself to peel.
