My first co-produced show!

Well, the focus sheet for Monday, January 14, 2008, 9AM, "Proposition 93- Term Limits" says I'm a co-producer, when really what I did was background research and pre-interviewing. But I learned a lot about local politics, and I got some folks up on the political pyramid to call in and talk. I'm expecting a spirited discussion, and can't wait to hear what Steve Westly and Kevin Spillane have to say. To have a tangible, notable contribution to something that's going to be on-air...it's kind of like having a by-line in the Guardian, small but no less important than any other contribution. I am proud to have my notes and research in the capable hands of producer Dan Zoll and guest host Rachael Myrow of The California Report. For the first time, I feel like my background work and my hours will prompt public discourse, induce conversation, which is really why I wanted to get into journalism in the first place.

Hopefully, both pundits call in on-time...
