Show notes

In episode 50 — yes, 5-0 — Kevin chats with Laurence Holmes, radio host at 104.3 The Score in Chicago, where he's worked for nearly 30 years. Holmes, whose own podcast, "House of L," helped inspire this one, also teaches aspiring journalists at DePaul University, giving him plenty of perspective on how to break in. You'll hear about what got Holmes into radio, how he got started at his high school in a south Chicago suburb, and the steps along the way that led to him having his own show in a market like Chicago. For Chicagoans, you'll appreciate hearing about all the people who Holmes worked with, and for everyone else, he provides some valuable insight into the industry. Hear how Laurence Holmes broke in.
