    The final Shop Talk
    Jul 24 2024

    Shop Talk is a podcast about journalism issues. This week, the panelists discuss coverage of recent big stories in American politics.

    This will be the final Shop Talk program after 25 years and countless panelists who generously donated time to participate in the discussions. The program was designed in part to feature the insights of broadcasting and journalism professors at Western Illinois University, but those programs are undergoing severe cuts.

    Thanks to those who’ve listened through the years!
