What It Takes: Don McLeese

Recorded for an independent study at the University of Iowa School of Journalism and Mass Communications

What It Takes is a conversation podcast that explores not necessarily what it means to be a journalist, but what it takes.

On this edition, I interview former Chicago Sun-Times pop music critic and Rolling Stone contributor Don McLeese. We discuss his career as a journalist, how to get established in the field, and his role as an associate professor at the University of Iowa.
