The Twenty-Fifth Wednesday of Twenty Twenty-Four. Another week, another GOOD conversation at the MFHQ. Today, our guest helps us understand more about the world of broadcasting. Recently reaching the 5-year mark with CBS 4, she has experienced a variety of roles in and around the station allowing her to sharpen the sword and become well-rounded with breaking the news. We dive deeper into the role of reporting the facts to your audience, and how emotion may or may not carry across that report. She tells the stories of her home, which can make an unbiased approach quite the challenge. But, with her commitment to the craft and willingness to study and see where she can improve have resulted in an ability to keep steady when reporting even the hardest of news. Our first collective experience with our guest was sometime during university which had to have easily been about 7 or 8 years ago. Yours truly, the boy, was on the other end of the interview that time around, but David and her had been working on a film project for class. Sometimes our guests go way back, and when we can personally trace back the growth like that, it hits juuust a little different upon reflection. Without further ado, we welcome to the HQ... VANIA CASTILLO.
