Willoughby Hills with Heath Racela

104. Author Luke Russert on Grief, Travel, and Political Media


Listen Later

Luke Russert is the son of legendary Tim Russert of NBC News. When his father passed away unexpectedly in 2008, Luke followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a Capitol Hill reporter for NBC News. But it took him 8 years to realize that he wasn't fulfilled in that line of work. He then spent 3 years as a world traveler, visiting six continents to grapple with the grief of losing his father and find his own path.

He joins Heath to discuss the power of grief and how it manifests itself, what he learned about American identity and his Catholic faith from traveling the world, and his thoughts on the political media landscape in 2023.
