An incredibly insightful podcast for anyone considering or going through a career change. If you’ve ever wondered if you have the courage to “do something else…” this is a spectacular listen. Host Jason Ball is knowledgeable and conversational. It’s also a wonderful peek into what really happens when the “On Air” sign goes off! Jason’s guests are the faces and voices you’ve probably recognized for years, now sharing riveting and sometimes personal stories!
Just a great listen. Interesting topics and great probing questions!! Also answers the question:s: “whatever happened to…? “what are they doing now?”
Enjoyed his previous podcast so I decided to listen to this one. Equally enjoyable. Jason is a great interviewer and content is easy listening. Look forward to new podcast each week
I had found certain parts of this "Life After News" to had been vulgar (or profane), unnecessary, unprofessional, negative, and detrimental (especially toward certain parts of it I had found to had been interesting and informative).
Fantastic view into a world I am unfamiliar! The life after stories are captivating and inspiring! Bravo, Jason!
