For half a century, this kid from D.C. has been chasing alders,
mayors, and senators. Mike Flannery, has even questioned
every president since Richard Nixon. Flannery has been on the
Chicago political beat since 1973, and now he's turning the
page.
In this episode of the Crisis Cast, you'll hear how Mike landed his
first gig at the Chicago Sun-Times -- just two weeks after
graduating from Georgetown. During part one of this chat with
Lissa Druss and Thom Serafin, Flannery shares a patented Mike Royko
story. Plus, you'll learn why he once found himself hiding behind
the pulpit of a South Side church with future President Jimmy
Carter.
