  Caleb Swinney

  Jul 30, 202654 min

  In this episode of Crewcast, Phil Hooper catches up with newly installed LA Bureau shoot edit Caleb Swinney. Caleb barely had time to unpack before being thrown straight into life on the road. From a freezing deployment in Minneapolis to powerful stories in Mexico, Syria and Ukraine, Caleb talks honestly about the chaos, pressure and privilege of our job and of bureau life. It’s a warm, funny and revealing conversation about storytelling, resilience, teamwork and what it really takes to do the job when no two days are ever the same. This episode contains some bad language. Presenter: Phil Hooper Guest: Caleb Swinney Producer: Nathan Hale Music: Lee Byatt Send us Fan Mail
