This episode was supposed to be an interview with a recent college graduate about what it’s like to be entering journalism in 2020.
Instead, Cameron Hurst — a recent St. Bonaventure graduate and current part-time sports writer in his hometown of Jamestown, N.Y. - just regales Brian with story after story. Among them:
- How members of his family were in cahoots both with Lucille Ball and gangsters during prohibition.
- How Cameron found himself performing Lucy’s “vitameatavegamin” bit for Lucie Arnez, Lucy and Desi’s daughter.
- How he started his own sports blog in high school and how that led to his interest in journalism.
- How a family friend predicted he would end up at St. Bonaventure.
- How he covered the Buffalo Diocese’s sexual abuse scandal, including translating push notifications from the Vatican.
