So You Wanna Be A TV News Producer?

Houston TV producer Mike McGuff of KTRK interviews me on his blog about what TV newscast producers do, how I got my start in the business, and what you need to know if you decide to sit in the control room instead of in front of the camera.

You'll also read about meeting the great Arizona Wildcat basketball coach Lute Olson... on bended knees.
