Club podcast features 40-year broadcast veteran Fuss

In the latest edition of Update-1, the Broadcast Committee's podcast series, Camille Bohannon talks with award-winning network radio news correspondent Bob Fuss, a retired 40-year radio veteran, who has written a book called “Kidnapped by Nuns."

Born with birth defects and on crutches all his life, he nevertheless covered news stories for UPI, NBC and Mutual Radio and spent many years as CBS’s Capitol Hill correspondent. Fuss also climbed mountains, skied and ran rapids leading to humorous and dangerous adventures. He covered sensational trials and he interviewed celebrities.

Fuss calls Congress “incompetent and a disaster” and believes moderation by all is what’s needed. He says voters have to pick lawmakers who can "be responsible, bridge the gap" and get "something done."
