Host Michael Woodward sat down with 'To Catch A Predator' creator and host Chris Hansen to hear his story into journalism and why he continues to be passionate about telling the true story in a compelling way. While Chris is best known for his work on 'To Catch a Predator,' the show only highlights a small portion of his career. He has covered breaking stories including the 9/11 Attacks, Columbine High School Massacre, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Unabomber, and much more.
Not only do we talk about his impressive career, but Chris gives us a look into new stories he is telling through Discovery+, his YouTube Channel, and his new podcast 'Predictors I've Caught with Chris Hansen.' While the stories and the news changes, Chris's passion for doing the hard work of journalism continues to push him to explore the untold and often hidden stories around us every day. Later in the conversation Chris shares some tips on how podcasts and other content creators can step up their game and become better journalists and storytellers too.
