About Radar

Meet Radar. Sepia-toned and sharp-eyed, Radar is Magic City Radar’s man on the ground — a 1930s newspaperman in a fedora and herringbone tweed, notebook in hand, watching Birmingham so you don’t have to. Every week he files the cover story: the politics, court fights, culture and SWAC sports shaping the Magic City, reported straight and on the record. The stories break first on the Magic City Radar Facebook page — follow along there, and read the full record here at magiccityradar.com.
