The JV Club recently interviewed Connie Chung, the first woman of color to anchor a US network news show. The podcast is mostly about her life growing up, but she also has some advice for women in the workforce. You can download the podcast on itunes or listen here.
Psst…. if you’re interested in what funny ladies were like growing up, you should check out the JV Club podcast, most of the interviews are with actresses/comedians.
