Interview with Connor O'Brien, Defense Reporter, POLITICO Pro

Journalism provides information and transparency that makes our nation stronger. Greg McCarthy, the founder of MXG Strategies and the host of Press Pass and Good Shoes, interviews journalists who cover defense and government contracting and explores their experience and insights. The title of the podcast comes from a 2006 CBS News story, in which longtime CBS National Security Correspondent David Martin stated that to cover the Pentagon you need "a press pass and a good pair of shoes."
