  • Not just for news people!

    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!
