I've rolled out uni because I want to live at home.

I've ruled out uni because I want to earn money.

I've ruled out uni because of my grades.

Study with the Open University and there's no need to rule out anything.

With our respected degrees, you can learn from home and work alongside study.

We're open to all. Plus, you'll have the support of expert tutors. So rethink your

future with the degree you didn't think was possible. The Open University, the future is open.

So I'm going to peel back the curtain a little bit and share a little bit of a secret with you.

When you work in television news, your job is to make sure, A, that the information is

accurate. And also part of that job means having someone to join the segment that you're

producing to talk about with the on-air talent, with the anchor, to talk about the case, the story,

whatever it is. And oftentimes your job is to find someone who may not necessarily be connected to the story,

the case as it is, but is intelligent and has the knowledge in the background that they can

lend some value to the conversation.

And so part of my job for a long time when I worked in television was to do that.

And there is also always sort of a gamble when you are getting people who you don't know that well, up to speed on stories, up to speed on cases, and having them bring some value to the conversation. So there's always some sort of a little bit of concern is, is this person going to work out? Is there going to be,

you know, some, some dead air? Is the conversation going to be good, organic, and natural?

And there's some that are better than others. It's an acquired skill. But I'm going to tell you that

the guest we talked to today on off script is one of the guys that I worked with many

a times at my time in television news.

And he was the best kind because he knew exactly what he was talking about.

He always brought value to the conversation.
