"Consumer Man" Herb Weisbaum, "Coney Island" Dave Cohen and Bob Costas spoke and took the time to be interviewed today in Professor John Nicholson's small broadcast journalism class. The three spoke on and off the record about their professional experiences in their respective lines of work and about their more exciting memories of Syracuse University.
Herb Weisbaum spoke first about his career as a radio reporter of consumer information in Seattle. He emphasized the importance of the internet in the broadcast industry.
Dave Cohen spoke briefly about his career as an announcer. He announced for the Yankees and recently played the role of the announcer in the movie Glory Road.
Bob Costas answered questions about his entire career. He said the moment that left him in awe was his interview with former Beatle Paul McCartney. He was as nice and humble as a man of his fame could possibly be; he didn't even rip on Barry Bonds.
