This week, we welcome  our guest and long-time friend Aaron Wondra to The Catchup. Aaron and John spent many years working overnight producing a newscast together, and have a lot of stories to share... some of which gets weird.

We discuss the isolation that comes with working  odd hours, and what we learned from working the graveyard shift. There are plenty of positives and negatives that come with working with the vampires, and there are several things that made us better people in life. Add in the rush that comes with working in broadcast news, and there’s several life lessons learned, camaraderie gained, and crazy stories to share.

Then, we dive into  the recent hate crimes against Asians, and death of a young black Texas man while in police custody (the latter of which happened in John and Denison’s hometown), all from the perspective of journalists. Discussion includes in-depth analysis on the handling of these stories by the national media, how COVID may have played a role in these crimes, and much more.
