Blake and Jason Puhr go back a little ways and now they’re catching up on the PS1 Podcast!
Jason anchors the weekend morning shows and reports during the week for WMNT in West Michigan. He’s known since elementary school that he wanted to be in the news business.
Hang out as Blake catches up with and finds out a bit more about him!
A little history
Jason graduated from Ball State University in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications and Journalism, and an Honor’s College degree. In school, Jason worked for Indiana Public Radio as a Board Operator and Reporter. He also was a Kicker/Punter for Ball State’s football team for 4 years, but has agreed to cheer for the Broncos unless they’re playing the Cardinals! Jason got his start in TV News with BSU’s Newslink Indiana, which broadcasts a half hour show across the state. For Newslink, he worked on reporting, anchoring, and even got to try being a Meteorologist.
Jason grew up in Smyrna, Tennessee, which is about 20 miles southeast of Nashville. Jason went to Blackman High School where he played football, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, as well as singing in the choir and dancing for the theatre program. His interest in News started in elementary school, and he carried that through his high school media program into college.
In his spare time, Jason is either at home with his wife, Corri, or on a disc golf course. Jason hopes to eventually play a course in every state and currently has played around 150 courses in 15 states and Canada.
