Joe Lindsley, editor of UkrainianFreedomNews.com, is this week’s guest on the award-winning PodcastOne series, “The Michael Harrison Interview.” For the past two years-plus, he has been broadcasting from the city of Kyiv and other locations in Ukraine where he is covering the war for WGN, Chicago and an array of social media platforms. A broadcaster with a colorful media history, Lindsley is an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, who began his career at the Weekly Standard magazine, and then had a tumultuous career at FOX News Channel as Roger Ailes’ protege. He was prominently featured as a character portrayed by actor Emory Cohen in the Showtime mini-series titled, “Loudest Voice.” In early 2020, he landed in Ukraine for a speaking gig at a media conference at Ukrainian Catholic University just as the world began shutting down because of Covid. Anticipating a calm and free environment in Ukraine for weathering a pandemic, he chose to stay during the worldwide lockdowns. When Russia invaded, he committed to “staying and reporting every day until victory.” His 10-minute daily reports are heard live every weekday morning on WGN’s Bob Sirott show where they are very well-received for informational thoroughness and insight into the lives of the brave Ukrainian people.
