Join hosts Eric Kilby and Mike Jay this week as they sit down with one of the best Live TV Director's in the business, Russ Hall. Having 35 years of experience, he has worked behind the scenes on some of the biggest live shows and TV productions you can imagine. Some of the events he has directed include live concerts, award shows, hockey games, Presidential interviews and specials, as well as benefit concerts featuring Lady Gaga, Alabama, Lee Greenwood, Lyle Lovett, and 5 living presidents of the United States. Russ also had the honor and privilege of directing Billy Graham's memorial service.
