Our Town With Host Andy Ockershausen - Homegrown History

Chris Plante on the interactivity of radio talk shows ~ "We are the original interactive media. We invented interactive." Chris Plante, Talk Show Host on WMAL radio in Our Town and elsewhere A Ockershausen: This is Our Town. This is Andy Ockershausen. Our guest today, unlike most of Our Town have been, are native but he's not a native. He's a relative newcomer, but he's not really a newcomer. He's been around. He started out on WMAL here in Our Town with a local broadcast, and now he's being heard all over America. He's on Westwood One, he's a regular on Fox News, but he's not a baby when it comes to Washington politics or holding his own in a room full of liberals. He's had a lot of experience growing up in a media family in Chicago, a family of Democrats so I hear. His mother and grandfather were on radio and television, and his stepfather is still in the news business. He's been 20 years at CNN and they've been preparing him for his daily talk show, and the most popular radio show probably on WMAL radio
