Back from delivering a major speech at the Democratic National Convention, Durham Mayor Leo Williams joins host Tim Boyum this week for a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like in Chicago.

Williams says his big speech almost didn't happen. He explains his range of emotions when he found out he was in the lineup, preparing for the speech, getting cut, then added back once again on the last night.

Later on, they discuss how the speech has impacted his life and how he manages his personal, professional and campaign responsibilities.
