I first interviewed Rafer Weigel 11 years ago when he was at WLS-TV in Chicago. When I did this livestream with him, he was at KUSI-TV in San Diego. Now he's Chief Communications Officer at VetComm, so but I want to post this anyway because Rafer talked a lot not just about his professional experience, but his personal struggles as well, which is pretty rare in the few-hundred interviews I've done so far. He also shares his opinions about the media biz and news broadcasting. Topics covered: acting, his famous sportscaster dad Tim Weigel, sports broadcasting, breaking the Jussie Smollett story and losing his job, mistakes he's made, mental health, pressure and competition, advice for working in the biz, and much more.

If ever there were an ideal moment, topic and guest for Truth Tastes Funny, it's three-time Emmy Award-winning "recovering journalist" Rafer Weigel. Son of iconic Chicago sports reporter Tim Weigel, Rafer came up in the news business, and I chose this interview to close out Season 2, because while we're just two dudes talkin' about life, news, and storytelling, it's hard not to think about the Dominion lawsuit against FOX, and the general complexion of "news" in a post-truth world. And, of course, the old adage, "If it bleeds, it leads."

Son of iconic Chicago sports reporter Tim Weigel, Rafer came up in the news business, and I chose this interview to close out Season 2, because while we're just two dudes talkin' about  life, news, and storytelling, it's hard not to think about the Dominion lawsuit against FOX, and the general complexion of "news" in a post-truth world. And, of course, the old adage, "If it bleeds, it leads." Also fascinating is Rafer's experience - as an apolitical reporter - being caught between left and right after breaking the Jussie Smollett case: Smollett was convicted in late 2021 on charges that he staged an anti-gay, racist attack on himself on a frigid January 2019 night and then lied to Chicago police about it. The actor-singer maintained his innocence throughout the case and this month, the former “Empire” star officially filed to appeal his December 2021 conviction.Chapter Markers:00:00 - The Art of Storytelling08:11 - Journalism & The Weigels11:40 - State of News Today13:44 - Jussie Smollett20:00 - Tabloid Journalism & Journalistic Entertainment23:10 - Comedy, News & Discourse27:28 - Truth & Risks in Standup34:01 - A Human - & Humility - Reset36:00 - Truth Really Does Taste Funny in the EndNow President/Chief Storyteller at WMG Communications, Rafer brings his expertise in crafting engaging stories for his clients using their words to make them look and sound their best on camera.
