DAVID TERESHCHUK - "A Question of Paternity: My Life as an Unaffiliated Reporter" (Author & World-Class Media Reporter) - Episode 206

We gladly roll out the red carpet this week, on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast, and welcome in veteran reporter DAVID TERESHCHUK to our worldwide show. David Tereshchuk leapt from an unpromising childhood in a small town on the English-Scottish borders to a precocious high-flying career as a TV journalist, first in London, then New York, interviewing such luminaries as Nelson Mandela and countless others. During his working life, he has managed to extract revealing answers from tyrants and the oppressed, but never managed to coax his mother into admitting who his father was, even after her revelation to him, when he was in his 50s, that she had been raped, aged 15, by a priest. Alongside his career, the search for his mother’s abuser has haunted him, adding further layers of stress to a life already marked by alcoholism and insecurity.  This is his astonishing story, and one that deserves to sit alongside those of Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and David Brinkley. A compelling addition to EnvelopeBooks' "Media" and "Memoir" titles. Contact David on all social media, including LinkedIn, or through his website: www.TheMediaBeat.us
