Randy Young is known as "The Voice of Thomas County", and has been a weekly columnist for the Thomasville Times-Enterprise newspaper in Thomasville, Georgia for over 30 years. He taught audio & video production at Thomas County Central High School in Thomasville for 30 years, was selected as Thomas County Schools Teacher of the Year and a top 10 state teacher of the year finalist in 2009, and just recently retired from the classroom. Randy is considered 'the godfather' of audio/video production in public schools in Georgia.



A lover of American history, he is a member of The Society of the Cincinnati, and has been published in several historical magazines and publications as well as serving as Managing Director of the Thomasville/Thomas County Veterans Museum. Since 1986 Randy has also been the play-by-play voice of the Thomas County Central Yellow Jacket football program, and has called seven state championship games for the team (six of which they won, the last in 2023), and was inducted into the Thomasville/Thomas County Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. 



A child of the late 70's/early 80's, Randy has played guitar semi-professionally for 40+ years, and is currently lead guitarist and vocalist for the regional classic rock band 'The Skinks'. 



Dubbed by some "Thomas County's Lewis Grizzard", Randy's family has been in "The County" since 1825. His sharing of his unique view of life through his experiences from his home on Egg & Butter Road has endeared Randy to thousands in the Southwest Georgia/Northwest Florida region. 





We live in complicated times....

...and sometimes a common sense voice is needed to help us better understand it.



On "The View from The County with Randy Young" you'll get that common sense voice covering all kinds of topics that are a part of living in the 21st century...with a particular emphasis on tales that hail Thomasville and Thomas County, Georgia.
