But it wasn’t his only one – at one point, the affable former Governor of Minnesota was looking in a totally different direction. In this edition of  Greta Talk, Pawlenty opens up with Greta on a variety of subjects – from first cars to first ambitions – with a little midwest rivalry talk along the way. Find out why he believes his bid for the Presidency failed – and what he thinks may happen in the 2016 Presidential race – as Pawlenty and the host of On the Record sit down for a lively and fascinating conversation.

One thing we know about FOX News reporters and anchors – they can come from anywhere. On the Record host Greta van Susteren was a lawyer before she got into TV. Bill O’Reilly was a TV host and reporter. Others came from other places. But Laura Ingle is unique – she did it the old fashioned way – she was on the radio first. Sit back and listen as Greta and Laura look back at the stories they’ve covered together – from murder trials to hurricanes; it’s an inside look at a reporter’s life… the good, the bad, and the very uncomfortable. It’s another fascinating episode of Greta Talk.  

She was a news anchor and a host known across cable TV – Laurie Dhue is a familiar face, who has worked at all the major cable news channels.

Get comfortable, and listen along as these two friends recap how they met, and you’ll learn why even today, the host of On the Record says she is incredibly proud of Dhue. It’s an uplifting story that hopefully will inspire many others.  

Greta van Susteren has been chasing down the stories behind human trafficking lately. She’s been trying to find out why this horrible plague is able to persist, even today. On a recent trip to Southeast Asia, she found Allyson McKnight, who has been working on the problem for Samaritan’s Purse, a charity backed by Rev. Franklin Graham, among others. McKnight has become a real expert on the topic, and she sat down for a Greta Talk in Hanoi recently. Allyson McKnight is the Anti-Trafficking Program Manager for Samaritan’s Purse in Vietnam. Her efforts are aimed at decreasing the risk of human trafficking for those living in remote areas through education and awareness programs. Currently, Samaritan’s Purse is conducting campaigns in 40 villages in provinces throughout Vietnam.  But there’s more to this episode than just an explanation of why… and it will warm your heart and even bring a tear to your eye. As the host of FOX News Channel’s  On the Record tells Griff Jenkins, she felt it was time do do something… and you won’t believe what Greta and her husband have chosen to do. So plug in and enjoy the happy twist at the end of this difficult story.  

Her voice is unmistakable. And her singing helped define the generation of psychedelic “sex, drugs, and rock & roll.” But Grace Slick has moved on to a whole new medium.  In this episode of Greta Talk, Slick talks about her current art – the art of painting. And her work there is just as unique as it was back when she was singing with The Jefferson Airplane and The Jefferson Starship. On canvas, as she was on vinyl back in the day, Grace Slick is bold, colorful – and quite frank. Join Greta, as she talks with this iconic rock star of the ’60’s about fame, Woodstock, and living in the 21st century – on this session of Greta Talk.     (Courtesy: Joel Lipton)

Retired Chicago-area Police sergeant Drew Peterson is still in jail – but the cases against him seem to keep getting more complicated. He’s already been convicted of killing his third wife. His fourth wife – Stacy Peterson – disappeared under highly suspicious circumstances, leading to a nationally-followed investigation that is still going on. And questions have been raised about the deaths of his first two wives. All that is old news – but now, Peterson has been charged with trying to arrange the murder of the prosecutor who convicted him in the first place. Greta van Susteren has been covering the Peterson cases for some time now, and knows the story well. In this episode of Greta Talk,  the host of On the Record talks to Steven Greenberg, the man whose job it is to defend Peterson. Greenberg is a well-known Chicago defense attorney, and he’s used to being on the hot seat. His conversation with Greta, herself an attorney and no stranger to this battle, is frank and tough. So plug in, sit back, and decide for yourself. Did he, or didn’t he?

You may agree with them – and you may not. But you’ll undoubtedly enjoy this meeting of two old friends.
