Today, the podcast turns three years old and I tell the story of how I became a journalist and what I learned in the process.

The Road Leading to this Podcast

In episode 55, I answered questions about me from the show’s producers. I expanded on this in episode 100 by giving further background about myself and my life. Since then, I’ve been asked several times specifically about my experiences as a journalist. So in this episode, for the podcast’s third anniversary, I want to elaborate on this and tell the story of how I became to be a journalist. I also want to talk a little bit about why I became a freelancer and how that influenced me to create this show.
