After more than 500 episodes, this is one of my favorite conversations. He broke the story and the truth on Agent Orange and changed the way we care for Veterans. He forged the way for orphans of the Vietnam War to come to America. He changed the way we cover deadly storms. He helped reinvent TV news.  

Hear all that, and much more from the legendary Bill Kurtis, on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

Bill's new book tells the story of the history he's covered and the lives he has changed. Forrest Gump has nothing on him!
