This episode features Part 2 of our interview with Jim Burress (click here for Part 1). Here, Jim talked about his favorite music, becoming vegetarian, getting off of conventional television and convention advice for CMA 2016.

Most poignantly, he looked back on the day the Supreme Court ruled on same-sex marriage. As fate had it, Jim Burress had long scheduled June 26th as a day off. As a reporter and as a gay man, did he regret this decision? He explored this in a thought-provoking conversation on how close is too close (if there is “too close”) for a journalist to be to an issue.
