Kate Gonzales is the guest for Episode 188. Kate is an award-winning freelance journalist based in Sacramento. She has spent her entire professional career in media. Most recently, she wrote for Sacramento News & Review. Additionally, she is also a producer with Insight, Capital Public Radio‘s morning show.

In this episode of the show Johnny chats with Kate Gonzales about the availability of the addictive seasoning from a certain restaurant chain; why she did not feel like a “real” writer, even after being hired by Sacramento News and Review to write paid content; how she grew to believe in her own strengths and skills as a writer and journalist; the strange law that citizens of Calaveras County must follow at all times; the worst “Hang In There” poster of all time; “Highdeas”; the strength she gathers from a network of peers and friends to accomplish her goals; and how to get her to walk your dog.

Thank you for listening, Listeners, to my conversation with Kate Gonzales.
