Dorothy Lucey, a beloved Los Angeles television icon and longtime co-host of Good Day LA, has teamed up with Jason Ball, a former KTLA News Director, to co-host a new podcast. This podcast marks a new chapter where they explore life after careers in broadcast journalism.
Podcast Focus and Hosts Background
Jason Ball, who once led TV newsrooms and has taught visual journalism and storytelling, hosts Life After News. The podcast delves into what happens when journalists leave the adrenaline-fueled news industry and begin reinventing their lives through new careers and creative pursuits.

Both hosts reflect on their own journeys, including Dorothy’s experiences of being fired live on air and her subsequent embrace of new opportunities as gifts in disguise.
Podcast Significance
This collaboration highlights the rarely told stories of journalists transitioning to different phases of life. It offers listeners not just nostalgia but also inspiration and insight into the resilience required to shift careers and narratives after leaving a public-facing role.

This podcast serves as a fresh platform for Emmy-winning journalists to share authentic, inspiring stories about transformation, resilience, and chasing faith beyond television news.
