The Anthony McCarthy Show
Synopsis

An interview with Urban Radio Network's White House Correspondent April Ryan about covering Presidents, balancing a high profile career with family and how she went from Baltimore to the most powerful House in America.

April Ryan has covered the White House through three administrations and is broadcast daily on more than 450 American Urban Radio Network affiliate stations. She interviewed President Bill Clinton more than any White House reporter and was a favorite of President George W. Bush. This Baltimore native is striving to balance being a wife and mother with one of the most demanding jobs in journalism. She joins Anthony to discuss covering the White House, her thoughts on the state of journalism today and how she manages to work, raise a family and ask Barack Obama the tough questions.
