Thank you @chi_natas for honoring The Birth of Gospel, The Union Stockyards, Beyond Chicago from the Air, and Jay Shefsky's work. #wttw #Chicago/MidwestEmmy wttw.com/beyondchicago wttw.com/chicagostories
@robertloerzel Thanks @robertloerzel Wish I could have been there. Thanks for your hard work on Stockyards. And congrats to all!
Had a great time filming the Chicago Marathon. As a runner myself with a torn hamstring, it was a bit frustrating at times as I hobbled to keep up with the athletes I interviewed!
It was an excellent night at the Emmy nominations: Outstanding Achievement for Documentary - Cultural -Inventing Improv -The Birth of Gospel Outstanding Achievement for Documentary - Historical -The Real Mad Men of Chicago -The Union Stockyards

Every once in a while I get the chance to work on a project that reminds me of the power of storytelling. This is one such project. It's the product of the hard work of Edgar Vargas, Katerina Simic @ray_santisteban @ball_mizani and Tim Boyd with music by @SonMonarcas. Watch it!
Premiering tomorrow at 8 pm, which should give you time to digest before viewing. This somewhat disgusting look at the stockyards will change the way you think about your food. Spectacular storytelling & big thanks to Daniel Andries, @robertloerzel, Ian Bertorelli, Patty Kaniff
Coming this Friday. Incredibly proud of the team that brought the Real Mad Men to life.
SNEAK PEAK: In 1949, a Chicago advertising agency called the Leo Burnett Company got its largest client yet: Kellogg. A famous mascot was born. Watch The Real Mad Men of Chicago tomorrow at 8:00 pm on WTTW. #ChicagoStoriesWTTW wttw.com/chicagostories
