On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by WGRZ-TV news reporter and anchor Kelly Dudzik to discuss several topics covering her life and Emmy-winning career in the business.

Kelly talks about growing up in Connecticut and knowing by the time she got in high school that TV news journalism was something she wanted to do with her life. She immediately began working hard to achieve her goal, accomplishing more in high school than many aspiring journalists do in college. Speaking of college, Kelly elaborates on why she decided to attend Syracuse and if there were other schools she considered.

Following Syracuse, Kelly set out in the work field, landing her first job in Wilkes-Barre, PA just two weeks after graduating.  That was the start of a well-traveled work journey that eventually took her to stops in Ohio, Montana and Arkansas before ultimately landing with WGRZ-TV Buffalo in 2013. Kelly tells stories of each her stops.

They spend time talking about the pros and cons of the job, the difficulties surrounding working TV news in a Covid environment, chemistry with colleagues and some pro tips for aspiring journalists out there.

They also talk about what most attracts Kelly to Buffalo, hobbies away from work and her favorite wing spot in town before finishing with the Fun Fact Finale, where we learn a ton of fun little nuggets about Kelly’s personal life.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character. You'll hear the highs, the lows, and all the gritty commentary in between, all filtered through the experience of someone who truly understands what it means to invest in these teams. For anyone who bleeds blue and red or simply appreciates the complex narrative of a sports city, Talking Buffalo feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable, and admittedly opinionated, friend.
