In Welcome to the Broadcast, Don Newman shares his many decades of reporting on some of the most important political events of our time — from more than a dozen Canadian federal elections and historic free-trade, energy and constitutional talks, to Supreme Court decisions, US presidential elections and Watergate. Newman also tells about his meetings and interviews with the political greats of the last half century, from a chance encounter with JFK and a cloak-and-dagger meeting with a man who said he knew too much about the Kennedy assassination to covering the attempt by prominent members of Canada’s Liberal party to dump their leader in the middle of an election campaign. Welcome to the Broadcast also shares stories from Newman’s personal life, the ups and downs during his climb to become one of the country’s top political journalists.
