In this journalistic episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Steve talks about the unique history of the Voice Of America; why the agency is the only news organization in the world to be mandated by law to be objective; his long and eclectic journalism career; his adventures as a White House correspondent; how he has the energy to fly around the world in Air Force One (with little time to sleep) and report on the president; and the most compelling stories he have covered over the decades.
