Beyond the Soundbite

With 12, check that 11 (actually not really sure...at the time that this piece went to press I was still unsure what was happening about Trisha L. dropping out of the city council stampede) candidates running for six open seats on Toledo City Council, I realized many people probably don't really know who these candidates are. I worked with Bill Hormann today. He's in the middle of putting together a weekly piece that gives us a snapshot of who the candidates are that are running for city council. I decided to call this one "Beyond the Soundbite" because the candidates always have more to say than can be fit into a one minute and thirty second piece. Here are the full interviews with Polly Taylor-Gerken and Adam Martinez I shot today with Bill.


Polly Taylor-Gerken



Adam Martinez


I posted these two interviews because I shot them. If I shoot more of these I will post them. I may not post other interviews in this series that I do not shoot.

Thanks for watching.

An Update

My apologies for the lack of posts here lately. I tweaked my shoulder playing softball recently so I've been filling in as a show editor quite a bit as of late. It works out because we are on the tail end of vacation season for our staff. Anyodd this post is just a heads up that I will be editing this week, shooting most of next week and then editing the entire week after that. Hopefully I'll get something blog-worthy next week, if not look for something the week of October 19th.

Until then if you're bored, and you must be if you're still reading, I was looking back at my Hurricane Ike posts from last year and thought they might be worth a second look.

Opal Covey Interview

Last Friday, Bill Hormann and I went to mayoral candidate Opal Covey's house to do an interview with her. After I shot the interview, I was asked by several people to make it available in its entirety. Well, here it is.
