LSU professor and author Bob Mann talks journalism, politics and his autobiography 'Backrooms And Bayous.'

Spotlight Conversations

In the studio with author Bob Mann, a professor who holds the esteemed Manship Chair in Journalism at the Manship School of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University (LSU), talking about his new book 'Backrooms And Bayous: My Life in Louisiana Politics' - a memoir about his long career in Louisiana politics and everything he learned along the way. Candid and introspective, Bob discusses both journalism, history and politics, including his work on Capitol Hill for Senators Russell B. Long and John Breaux; the changing political landscape; his look at Louisiana history (and the future for The Bayou State); plus the reason why he still enjoys putting in hours of archival research for each of his books - and there are many! Check out his new autobiography at Backrooms And Bayous and join us!

About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests know media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in my swanky studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday.
