Today, Rudy Vorkapic practices a
biting brand of fact-based satire at the New Orleans Levee. But he started his
career in traditional Chicago media.
Rudy is a gifted journalist with
tremendous stories about absolutely everything, including: the maniacal
Southtown editor who inspired a union campaign and talked too much (“I was Deep
Throat”); collecting the “stiff list” while working at the legendary City News
Bureau and “cheaping” out deaths; covering a tragic tornado in Plainfield and
pulling himself off assignment to pursue another story; antagonizing crooked politicians
like Dollar Bill Jefferson and much, much more!
Plus, he has great advice on how to
cover a 107 year old’s birthday. An entertaining episode!
