Talking about random things is what we do as we discuss both my favorite television shows ever while incorporating what makes the state of Indiana a great place to live. Here on "Keeping Up in The Middle" we discuss what makes our state a great place while tying Frankie into the message of the week throughout our crazy lives and in our crazy state in the state of Indiana as we cover everything from crime to politics to what makes Indiana great and sports.
From producer, Braydyn Lents, this episode was recorded in February this year as I interviewed Kevin Finch, a longtime media producer and broadcast professional who now teaches journalism at Washington & Lee College in Virginia. He once worked at WTHR, WISH-TV 8 in Indianapolis and WRTV Channel 6, Calamari Productions, and a few indie productions here and there. He did work on several documentaries that have been aired on national stations such as National Geographic and Lockup on MSNBC where he is an Emmy-winning producer, director, and journalist who now is teaching youth to shoot for the stars just like he did throughout his storied career.
This was done through the Indiana Broadcast Historical Archives on the campus of Indiana University as many graduates are finding work, I hope this can help motivate you that everyone starts from the beginning to the end of their careers and have fun doing so.
I presented my findings in April during my second to last semester at IU and this was a fascinating interview with such a local and national broadcast legend.
