Additionally\, he is also a regular contributor with a series of incredibly funny appearances on several national radio and podcast platforms\, including KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show and The Adam Carolla Show.\nWilliams’ humorous and inspiring observations on disability\, relationships\, sex\, and race consistently win over audiences; proving anyone can overcome their shortcomings.
