A Talk To-Go with Soledad O'Brien | Episode 80

Welcome back to another episode of Talks To-Go! Jill and George talk with our next special guest, Soledad O'Brien. She is an award-winning documentarian, journalist, speaker, author, and philanthropist, and founder of Soledad O’Brien Productions, a media production company dedicated to telling empowering and authentic stories on a range of social issues. She anchors and produces "Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien," a Hearst political magazine program and was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of fame in May 2023. Her dad, Edward E. (Ted) O’Brien grew up in Australia, where he obtained his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, then moved to America where he attended Purdue University for his Master’s degree and Johns Hopkins University for his Ph.D. He was a founding professor in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and was an avid tennis player, sailor, and swimmer, loved riding his motorcycle and volunteered at his local Catholic parish.

This is another "Remembering Dad" episode where we sit down with our guest whose father has passed away to discuss and reminisce about their relationship together.  

No reservations necessary.  All TALKS are TO-GO.
