This week we sit down with the one and only Maggie Martin. You can find my full discussion with the Shreveport journalistic icon here.

Here are the questions I asked:

0:33 1. You have been an institution in Shreveport journalism. I read that it was a dream come true for you to be a journalist, one you chose many years ago when you were a young child reading The Times on your stoop in Queensboro.

What was it about journalism that spoke to you?

3:02 2. You began working with The Times in 1964 but not initially as the society reporter you would become. When did you first begin writing columns on society parties?

5:50 3. Tell me about one or two of the most memorable parties you ever covered.

10:42 4. You were part of The Times Enterprise Team, a group of reporters and editors that investigated the late Shreveport Public Safety Commissioner George D’Artois. The entire enterprise team was actually a finalist in the 1976 Pulitzer Prize competition.

Tell me about Jim Leslie and some of your memories of working on the Enterprise Team.

21:02 5. Your husband, Paul Schuetze, has been a critical part of both your personal and professional life, photographing much of your written coverage for The Times. Tell me about when and how Paul and you first met.
