Wendy Ogata -- REWIND
The Media Scrum
08/10/21 • 54 min
This week at The Media Scrum we mark our one-year anniversary. It’s amazing, but we’ve been doing this for 52 weeks. Now, that said, we’ve repeated a few episodes this summer because we’ve been vacationing and had other events in our lives pop up, but we’ve gone a year, so far, when lots of other podcasts fizzle out after only a few episodes. We’d like to thank those of you who have been listening, and especially those guests who’ve consented to be interviewed. It’s been so much fun catching up with old friends, and meeting new ones. With that in mind, it’s only appropriate that we repeat that very first episode: Our interview with Wendy Ogata, not only one of the best journalists we know but one of the best human beings we know. This interview was the only one we’ve done in-person – about a week or so before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown – at Wendy’s home.
Mary Nickles
The Media Scrum
01/25/22 • 70 min
This time out we’re revisiting a conversation we had last summer with Mary Nickles, whose career at KUTV in Salt Lake City just passed the 30-year mark – and 30 years is forever in TV news. Mary has been the morning, noon and/or evening anchor on KUTV’s various news programs for about 25 of those years. Not only is she a pro on the news set, but she’s done health stories over the years that have actually saved lives – including her own. She talks about that, and lots more, on this episode. We had a lot of fun talking to Mary, and we hope you enjoy our conversation.
Joe Bauman
The Media Scrum
06/01/21 • 65 min
This week we have a conversation with Joe Bauman, a longtime reporter for the Deseret News who covered the environment, science and courts beats, along with lots of other news, and who has some really terrific stories to tell about his decades in journalism and living everywhere from the East Coast to the South Pacific. We hope you enjoy it.
Season 2 & 3 Update
The Media Scrum
06/08/22 • 2 min
We haven't published an episode since April. Here's why, and the plans for Season 3.
Holly Mullen
The Media Scrum
12/28/21 • 60 min
We sincerely hope you’ve been having a terrific holiday season. We have, and that’s the reason we’re revisiting one of the earliest episodes of the podcast, from August 2020, with our friend Holly Mullen, because all the holiday stuff has taken up our time and that of our coming group of guests. Holly, bless her heart, was one of the first people we asked to be a guest on the podcast. She’s a certified institution in Utah journalism. She currently serves as a member of The Salt Lake Tribune's board of directors. Holly's career has taken her around the country working for both legacy newspapers and alternative weeklies. In Utah, she's worked as a reporter, editor and/or columnist at the Deseret News, Standard-Examiner, The Salt Lake Tribune and City Weekly. We got to know Holly at the Standard-Examiner in the mid-'80s, and we’ve remained friends ever since. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
Dave Greiling
The Media Scrum
11/30/21 • 63 min
This episode we speak with Dave Greiling, who was the Standard-Examiner’s managing editor for a decade from 2003-2013. Dave grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and worked for newspapers in Rickford, Ill., Lansing, Mich., and Ft. Collins, Colo., before landing in Ogden, Utah. Any list of well-regarded and highly respected editors in Utah newspapering would include Dave, who served as a voice of reason, sound judgment and was a mentor to many reporters who came through Ogden during his tenure. Dave retired to Ft. Collins eight years ago, and we had fun talking with our old friend and daily lunchmate.
Lisa Roskelley -- REPEAT
The Media Scrum
10/05/21 • 77 min
This week we turn the clock back to December 2020 and our guest Lisa Roskelley. Lisa’s post-college years, as you’ll hear, included a sales job in California before starting as a reporter at the Standard-Examiner and then transitioning into a position as spokeswoman for Gov. Jon Huntsman, consulting, a run for the Utah Legislature and, most recently, managing Huntsman’s 2020 gubernatorial campaign. It was fun to catch up with our old friend and colleague.
Cal Grondahl -- REPEAT
The Media Scrum
09/21/21 • 70 min
This week we thought it would be fun to repeat an episode from December 2020 with Calvin Grondahl, without a doubt the king of Utah editorial cartoonists. Cal began his career at BYU, was hired by the Deseret News and later fled to the Standard-Examiner in the quest for some freedom to draw what he wanted. Mark and I worked with Cal for many, many fun and eventful years at the Standard-Examiner, and remember those decades fondly. Cal’s now retired, and has been for a number of years, but he shares lots of stories about what it was like to be the cartoonist who broke ground for all those who followed.
Allison Barlow Hess
The Media Scrum
09/07/21 • 55 min
This week we speak with Allison Barlow Hess, a BYU grad who reported at KSL for a dozen years, then spent another decade teaching budding journalists at Weber State University and, finally, since 2010 has been the school’s director of public relations. Along the way, Allison spent two years as Utah Chapter board chair of the Society of Professional Journalists and was a longtime op-ed columnist for the Standard-Examiner.
Amy Joi O'Donoghue
The Media Scrum
04/05/22 • 51 min
This time on The Media Scrum we speak with Amy Joi O’Donoghue, a reporter for the Deseret News’ Utah In-Depth team with decades of expertise and award-winning writing in police, government, land and environmental issues. Mark and I have known Amy since 1985, when we all worked together at the Standard-Examiner in Ogden. Amy’s family lives in Weber County with their horses, chickens, Irish Wolfhounds and Jack the cat.
