PODCAST: Mike Costa Interviews Dave Flessner

  • Monday, December 9, 2024

After 44 years of local reporting, there’s not a person who knows Chattanooga’s story better than Dave Flessner, which is exactly why we wanted to have him as our guest for the 100th episode of the podcast.

Mr. Flessner recently retired as the business editor of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. 

In this episode, he shares the unconventional path that led him to be a journalist, the history of the Times Free Press, and some of the hardest stories he has had to cover during his career.
