Matthew Rodrigues, Emmy-winning host of NBC's Chicago Today Show, visited Henry Puffer School in Downers Grove for a filmed segment with the school's podcast club, where students set up and conducted interviews that will appear on the show and on the school's podcast.
A recorded announcement during the visit said the Chicago Today Show will air the Henry Puffer segment "in the coming weeks" and encouraged listeners to check the Henry Puffer podcast on Spotify; the announcement also said Rodrigues' full podcast episode will be posted online soon. The recording did not specify an exact air date.
During the visit, students asked Rodrigues whether he is recognized outside his work and what the "coolest part" of his job is. "The coolest part is truly just meeting people like you," Rodrigues said. He added, "I would never walk into this classroom if I didn't have this job... I'm getting emotional." The exchange offered students a chance to practice on-microphone interview skills and hear a professional describe working in broadcast media.
The school-run podcast remains available on Spotify for past interviews. The recording of the visit did not include additional details on how the school and the Chicago Today Show arranged the visit or any follow-up activities for the podcast club.
