Campus Voices - Todd Purdum and Mike McCurry

Author: Rick Alloway April 26, 2024 Duration: 36:29

Todd Purdum, who covered the Clinton White House for The New York Times, and Mike McCurry, who served as press secretary for President Clinton presented the 2024 Seline Lecture in the UNL College of Journalism & Mass Communications on Thursday, April 25. While on campus, they sat down with 90.3 KRNU's Barney McCoy to discuss their careers at the intersection of politics and journalism.


Tune into KRNU Campus Voices for a ground-level view of life at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, crafted entirely from within the university's own walls. Under the guidance of Rick Alloway, this audio project is produced by the students, faculty, and staff of the UNL College of Journalism & Mass Communications, offering a unique blend of raw reporting and polished documentary storytelling. Each episode moves beyond simple bulletins, weaving together the threads of campus news, emerging local culture, and the broader societal issues that resonate with the student body and the Lincoln community. You'll hear directly from the people shaping campus life-whether it's a profile of a groundbreaking researcher, a deep dive into a student-led initiative, or the sounds and stories from a cultural event that defined the week. This podcast captures the authentic rhythm and intellectual energy of a Big Ten campus, presenting it with the thoughtful analysis you'd expect from aspiring media professionals. While it airs Sunday mornings on 90.3 KRNU, the podcast format lets you engage with these campus voices on your own schedule, providing a consistent and insightful audio chronicle of a university in motion.
