For three years, The Naked Truth knocked down walls in the music industry.  Bands like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Tesla, The Cult, Motorhead, and many more appeared on the groundbreaking show.  Barron's credibility got the show serviced from all the major labels, when such a task was tougher than getting into the White House!!! It was at CNN, he created a team of talented writers, editors, and controlroom techs,  to deliver incredible shows.

The Naked Truth aired from 1990-1993 in Atlanta, and was considered the Wayne's World of rock and roll tv. 

In 1993, The Naked Truth completed it's three year run on TV.  Barron moved into directing music videos, and had a successful run, that included Stuck Mojo's “Risin” in 1998, which world premiered to 5 million viewers on TNT and was also featured on MTV's Total Request LIVE with Carson Daly.  The video was a WCW parody with wrestlers Diamond Dallas Page, as the protagonist, and The Raven as the antogonist.  Daly showcased the video on a live set with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, getting body slammed in the process.  All totaled, Barron's music videos have been viewed by over 12 million TV and internet viewers.

After the CNN-AOL merger in 2001, Barron took his talents to Hollywood, where he has made a fine career as a director/cinematographer, working on feature films, reality tv, concerts, and music videos.  In Hollywood, Barron has worked with Bruce Willis, David Caradine, Sarah Maclachlan, Bill Withers, Mary J. Blige, and Oksana Grigorieva.

Depsite what Dave accomplished, something was still missing with all the opportunities coming his way.  He missed working in the music industry.  So in 2013,  he got an offer that would relaunch himself back in the music business.  Dave brushed off some of his writing skills, and did some freelance reporting for online rock and roll website, RockRevoltMagazine.com  He covered Black Sabbath's new LP secret listening party for 75 rock journalists, along with Rolling Stone, LA TIMES, TIME, NY TIMES, and others.

In 2014, Barron felt that it was time to bring back the radical TV show to radio.
