A farewell conversation with Gregory Holman

This is Chris Drew for KSMU news. I’m joined by KSMU news reporter Gregory Holman. Gregory has a little news to share, as you often do.

Gregory Holman: Chris I do. The big news is, I am actually going to be joining the Springfield Business Journal later this week. We’re recording this on Monday, and I’m going to be going over to the Springfield Business Journal to be their deputy editor. And so, this was a big decision, folks. I’ve really truly treasured the time being in public media here with KSMU, Ozarks Public Radio and Ozarks Public Television. And I took some time and made a tough decision. It’s no secret there’s some instability with the funding mechanisms for public media right now. And we’re hoping that that turns out really well. And I kind of made a simple individual career decision. So, I’m excited about my new adventure. A little sad, you know, about leaving this adventure. But that’s the news, Chris.

Yeah, and we’re excited and sad. Also, I think many of our listeners are too, for the last three years we’ve been hearing you on air, bringing us the news. Especially regular Springfield City coverage, which is so valuable. Something you’ve kind of been an advocate for, I think probably just in your life in general is local journalism. And here I’ve heard you say so many wonderful things about public radio. Is there anything you want to leave as a farewell to our listeners?
