Welcome to another exciting edition of Candid Candace – The Podcast, with your host, Candace Jordan, and co-host/producer John St. Augustine! This week, we're joined by a true legend of American journalism and a friend of the show, Bill Kurtis. From his early days covering the largest tornado in Kansas history to anchoring CBS News to narrating Cold Case Files, to announcing Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me! Bill has been a steadfast presence in broadcast journalism for over six decades. Today, we're diving into a new chapter of his life, his new memoir, Whirlwind: My Life Reporting the News that offers a candid look at his remarkable career and the stories that shaped his journey. The book includes his thoughts at being front and center at some of the most dangerous trials of the century- Charles Manson, Richard Speck, Chicago 7 and more. He also shares tips for budding journalists and wanna-be reporters, who his greatest influence was and his top achievement.
You won’t want to miss this in-depth conversation with a living legend.
