This WAS CNN (With Kevin Ivey) Part 1

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Kevin Ivey, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from CNN during Ted Turner's era.

With Ted Turner’s passing still in the rear-view mirror, Robbie reaches out to hometown friend Kevin Ivey. Not only did Ted Turner know Kevin by name, he also brought him into the CNN world when it was just coming into its own. This is a true behind-the-scenes, other side of the camera view of Turner’s world. And there are stories. In fact, there are so many stories, The Guys had to break this one up into two episodes. And that, of course, means the loyal listeners get to hear two sets of Geeks of the Week! Jay sadly fails to save the universe, but he’s not the only one. Art gives an address on addresses, and Robbie has news on the Supers. Listen to what will surely soon be known as the iconic “Ivey Interview” then come back for part 2 next week. There’s a cliffhanger!
