Bob and I discussed the recent election, the job that both print and media did in covering the days up to the election, Bezos' refusal to endorse Harris and the problem with print endosements in general, the freedom of the press in the Trump administration and making peace with the election. On a lighter note, Bob talked about the game of bridge, folk singing and his novel, Larry Felder, Candidate.

We often find ourselves yearning for a taste of home. For some of us, that's easy to find, but for others, not so much. For Bob Levey and his wife, San Diego was just a little far from their home of Philadelphia and that meant fair from their beloved Philly cheesesteaks. This lead them to creating Philly's Best Cheesesteak and Hoagie shop in Fountain Valley in 1992. Now with multiple locations, and fresh off celebrating 30 years in business, Philly's Best continues to be the dominant cheesesteak destination for anyone hankering for a true, east-coast sandwich shop experience.

Bob Levey on Katharine Graham ~ "If you look back at what Katharine Graham accomplished, it is really, as the kids say, awesome. She built a Fortune 500 company centered around this newspaper. She made it profitable. I ate breakfast today, thanks to Katharine Graham, and the profit sharing plan that she put into place. Thank you, Mrs. Graham." Bob Levey, Washington Post Columnist, Retired and National Champion Bridge Player with Andy Ockershausen in studio interview Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen. This is Our Town. I keep saying this from time to time, but I mean it. This is very special to me, and for Our Town, to have Bob Levey come back to WMAL, where he starred for years and years in radio, but also everything else he did. Bob is an icon in Our Town, of a man that's been around for a long time, and is still active. I'm so very delighted for us to have this chance to talk about what you and I grew up in as radio television. Bob Levey: Andy, I appreciate the chance to be here, but what are we going to do? My ears are burning from that introduction. Do you have a fire extinguisher? Andy Ockershausen: No, no money. Bob Levey: Well that's no different from the old WMAL, right? Andy Ockershausen: The old WMAL. I used to have the argument all the time about the talent, and I said look, we're not in business to make you money. We're in business to make The Evening Star money to keep ‘em alive, and we did for a while. Bob Levey: You did for a long while- Andy Ockershausen: That's another story. Bob Levey: It is a long story, it is another story. The Washington Post - How Bob Levey Became Ben Bradlee's First Hire Andy Ockershausen: But you lived through it. You lived through the golden days of The Washington Post, and every day I think about how great The Post has been to Our Town, and to our people. Like it or love it, some people hate The Post, some people love it. But it's been a rock in Our Town. Bob Levey: A lot of people don't understand exactly why it has been a rock in Our Town. It certainly had to do with the unbelievably great Ben Bradlee, whose first hire at The Washington Post, by sheer accident, was me. Andy Ockershausen: No way. Bob Levey: Yeah. It did happen. Andy Ockershausen: He realized he made a mistake. Bob Levey: Here was the story: I had a job interview lined up with J. Russell Wiggins, who was the Editor of The Post, and a couple of weeks out, he said come in on Monday morning at 9 a.m. But over the weekend, President Johnson named him the Ambassador to the United Nations, so this new dude took over at 9 a.m. Monday morning, and he inherited Wiggins' calendar. The first guy he had to see was me. I walked in, and we didn't know quite what to do with each other, so he hired me on the spot. It was the first of a lot of lucky breaks in my life. Andy Ockershausen: To think about the great life you had up until then, I mean you were not out of the business. You started at six years old. That's kind of young to start in the journalism business, but you did. Then, when I'm reading about you, Bob, I didn't know ... You grew up in New York- From Growing Up in New York City to College at University of Chicago Bob Levey: New York City. Andy Ockershausen: High school and New York in the city. Then, going to the University of Chicago, which, to me, never meant journalism. Bob Levey: There was no journalism program at the University of Chicago, but on my first day on campus somebody said, "You really ought to check out the student newspaper for two reasons. One, it's a whole lot of fun; and two, there are a whole lot of girls there." I said, "You got the value of this backwards, but I'll show up." That began my serious, absolutely over-caffeinated, overwhelming love for the business. Andy Ockershausen: You had not done that in New York. You discovered that at Chicago? Bob Levey: No, I was too busy being other things when I was in high school.
