Episode #9- Bill Kurtis & Donna La Pietra

In this Legends Podcast, I have the privilege of interviewing Bill Kurtis and Donna La Pietra, the King and Queen of Chicago Media and Philanthropy. Their accomplishments are legendary including Donna’s unique knack for creating the most memorable nonprofit events in our history (she shares some secrets). Bill chats about his star turn in Will Ferrell’s “Anchorman” film, which is hysterical, and how he landed the coveted role. Both avid conservationists, they also share their passion project as well as tips on succeeding in journalism and how you can give back without breaking the bank. And, as always, I offer my top event picks to put on your social calendar plus my take on the Lincoln Park Zoo Ball and the Ravinia Festival Gala. Special thanks to my producer/co-host, a legend in his own right, John St. Augustine, who just became a grandpa of twins! So much to celebrate in this edition! Tune in, sit back, and enjoy the show!
