I was going through some links I had and came across these from a radio show in Dallas that I listen to. I thought I'd posted them on "The Wire" threads on CF but I guess I forgot over the years. Some pretty decent interviews with a bunch of characters conducted by the BaD radio crew on Dallas' The Ticket.

Because of the Necro-bump thread I wanted to bump this. Finally got around to watching it, currently on season 4... And holy cow this is a great show. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiitttttt
I've watched many episodes twice because there's so many little details in the dialogue. I'll zone out for a few seconds and next think I know I've missed an important detail.
So Im guessing its good enough for me to give it a go? Lol, I think I should try to make some time to watch this.
This is an absolute must watch show. I need to re-watch. Saw it a few years ago and I think I finished all five seasons in about 2 weeks.
I may have posted my season preferences in this thread already but IMO it goes 3, 4, 1, 2, 5 Season 5 was the only one that was clearly subpar.
You Wireafiles would probably enjoy a read thorough of this David Simon AMA from last week... good insight into characters and situations: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/51lz1y/im_david_simon_creator_of_hbos_the_wire_the/
This was a fascinating AMA. I liked his answers about the symbolism of the train and Spoiler whether or not McNulty and Lester ever end up in jail.
I need to rewatch this series especially since HBO remastered the series in HD...wife and I are currently working our way through OZ. Funny to see how many actors moved on to the Wire from that show.....
