The Turnaround with Jesse Thorn


Jul 18, 2017

The one and only Jerry Springer visits The Turnaround this week! Whatever you think you know about his long-running daytime talk show<i> Jerry Springer</i> is probably correct, and Jerry would likely agree with you. But as he explains to Jesse, he believes his show has a valuable role to play in the lives of his guests -- especially by giving them a voice. Now in his 26th season as the show's host, Jerry wouldn't trade his job for anything, mostly because he gets some really great stories out of it. Also, he talks to Jesse about his unlikely path to a career in broadcasting, including serving a term as the mayor of Cincinnati in the 1970s.
