Episode 3 -- Jessica Yadegaran

Where Ya At? SDSU's Journalism and Media Studies podcast

Jessica Yadegaran ('98, Journalism) covers dining culture, restaurants, wine, travel and more for the "Eat Drink Play" section of the Bay Area News Group. Her stories are syndicated throughout the country with an overall circulation exceeding 700,000.
In this week's podcast, Jessica discusses how an interest in wine sparked the paper to start a new section that didn't previously exist; staying incognito when inside wineries and restaurants; and how frequently stories are more about the news of the industry than an actual review.
Jessica also reminisces about favorite professors at SDSU, how one helped her land an internship at Time Magazine that was instrumental in her career, lifelong friends she met on campus, and how even her son is a budding pizza critic.
