About the show

For over 40 years, Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist David Swanson has covered war zones (from Bosnia to Afghanistan to Iraq), natural disasters (the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, the LA Fires) and even red carpets. But, while David's photos can tell you what it looked like standing where he stood in order to take those news photos, they can't tell you what it felt like standing there. Those are the stories this podcast will tell! Journalism doesn't get any more personal than this. Or more compelling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
