Michael sits down with Leonard Lopate of Lopate at Large on WBAI for an interview about his career, video journalism, and why everyone should learn to produce professional quality video.

It used to be that if you wanted to produce professional video you had to spend a lot of money on equipment, but now you can just use the smartphone that's in your pocket to do it all. With the right skills, you can use your smartphone to launch a career in video or use video for your business.
