Episode 200! I edited the livestream that I did with Joe Donlon, who's an anchor at CBS 2 Chicago. He said he's living the dream and is very happy with his situation. He talked about journalism, ambition, advice, and his Chicago Unscripted podcast. Seems like a great, experienced, professional guy who deserves all the success he's experienced.

Hi everyone! I edited the livestream interview with Molly Jirasek TV, but I think I mispronounced her name in the intro 😕 She offers advice for working in TV News. I also linked to the previous interview I did with her 6 years ago, in case you're interested.

Ron Gleason: "I knew radio was all I ever wanted to do." He talks about why he loves radio, sports broadcasting, running The Score, how he went from WSCR to WBBM, the radio biz, managing vs being on air, and lots more. This is probably the most extensive and revealing interview he's ever done. http://radiogirl.us/audio/RG197.mp3 https://podcast.radiogirl.us/2024/08/ron-gleason-score-wbbm-sports.html

I just posted the long livestream audio of my interview with Rafer Weigel to the Radiogirl podcast. It was originally posted for the Illinois News Broadcasters Association, but I decided to post it on my own pod because he was so honest about mental health, his opinions about the media, his professional experience, and much more. I've interviewed a few hundred people over the years, and this was one of the most personal ones.
