Ep9 - Hurricanes!

Ep9 - Hurricanes!

Part of being a network news cameraman is that I to where others are leaving! That, and a side-story or two about chartered jets!

Ep10 - The Chili Cookoff - Humor

It's a departure from stories of being a network news cameraman. It's one of the funniest short stories I ever read so I read it here and cannot fight breaking into laughter. It's clean for all audiences, so listen along and lets have a light moment.

Ep8 - How do I get your job?

If you've been listening to this podcast, you've heard about some of my adventures in shooting news for the New York newsrooms of NBC News, CBS News, and ABC News. Now, for a little backstory to answer the question I would often get: "How do I get your job?"

Ep 7 - NASA Adventures

When the NBC Network News Bureau for the Southwest United States was in Houston, I lived across the street. That was a time when the networks really covered space. The Johnson Space Center was not far away in Clear Lake. All the media had trailers across the parking lot of Building 9 at NASA. Building 9 housed most of the trainers. Between getting to know many astronauts and a teacher who was to fly on the Challenger space shuttle, I have stories to tell.

Ep 6 - The gun was lowered to point at my face. What could I do?

I cannot count the times when my life was in danger. Many times while working in newsgathering for the networks, many times while serving in Vietnam, and a few times when you expected life to be ordinary. See my work at DonSmith.TV, my YouTube Channel at TheMostExclusiveClub.com, and a film I shot at my compound in Vietnam at NewsVideo.com/Vietnam.
