"My View from the Middle"

Jim Poling

Have you ever been put in the middle of things? "Clowns to the left of you, jokers to the right" as the song goes?  Well, I have.  This podcast series is a collection of stories you might relate to in some case, be entertained by in others, and make you scratch your head in still some others. 

I tell about some major news events that I covered as a broadcast journalist for 40+ years like the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and the fall of the Sunshine Skyway bridge over Tampa Bay.  I relay some embarrassing moments like the time I spent a couple of hours at a bar with one of the greatest major league baseball players of all time and I didn't realize who he was!  I also talk about my faith and the all-encompassing role it played in all of it.

I think you'll enjoy and appreciate My View from the Middle!
