Network News on Location
Ever wonder what really happens when the satellite truck rolls up and the network news crew jumps out? Network News on Location pulls back the curtain on the chaotic, demanding, and often surreal world of field reporting. Co-produced by Larry Warner, a staff CBS News camera operator, and production sound mixer Bryan Baeta, this podcast is built on decades of experience from the San Francisco Bay Area to hotspots around the globe. Each episode dives into the untold stories behind the stories-the technical snafus, the logistical nightmares, the unexpected moments of humanity, and the sheer hustle required to get that perfect shot or clear audio clip on the air. You’ll hear firsthand accounts from the crews who operate in the background, discussing the intersection of business, career paths, and the craft of visual storytelling for television and film. It’s a raw look at the careers built in the trenches of broadcast journalism, far from the polished studio desk. Tune in for honest conversations about the pressures, the ethics, and the dark humor that comes with bringing major news events directly into living rooms. This isn't about the anchors; it's about the boots on the ground who make the broadcast possible, offering a unique perspective you won't find anywhere else.
