In Episode 1, Travis Boles sits down with veteran NBC4 Los Angeles reporter Conan Nolan to talk about his 30+ years on the front lines of L.A. news — and his memories of working alongside Travis's father, David "Kenny" Boles.
They cover the tip that led to the LAPD raid on Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, Conan's firsthand account of driving in front of the O.J. Simpson Bronco chase while talking Kenny through the coverage from inside the newsroom, and what it felt like to walk into NBC Burbank for the first time — Johnny Carson upstairs, Carlos Santana in the commissary.
They also get into how journalism — and the business behind it — has changed since.
This podcast is a tribute to Kenny Boles, a 45-year broadcast newsman, anchor, investigative reporter, and news director who passed away in 2018.
