Jeez-O-Petes! It's Taryn Asher
Longtime Detroit TV news anchor and reporter Taryn Asher joins Spike & Hank for a candid conversation about life in the media business, career curveballs, and what happens when the job you’ve known for decades suddenly changes. Nothing is off-limits when three longtime media personalities get together to talk about life's unexpected turns and what comes next.
In This Episode:
- Taryn worked at TV stations in Detroit, Lansing and Flint: how did she deal with the speculation in the media about her departure?
- So much has been said about Taryn's unexpected exit from journalism, but what's the truth?
- What was the one social media comment that sent Hank spiraling?
- Taryn Asher's teenage daughter gave her advice that brought her to tears
- Bill Bonds, Huel Perkins, Chuck Gaidica, Oprah Winfrey: some of the most well-known TV faces and how they weave into our timeline
- What does Taryn have planned for the future? Will she return to TV news?
- The quote Spike shared in our first podcast episode that resonated with Taryn and should be embraced by everyone
