1. What kind of phone do you have, and what are your favorite apps?
I'm a hardcore iPhone guy but it was a slow transition. I was originally hooked on Blackberry. I was the first reporter in my Nashville newsroom to thumb in my scripts back in 2004. Previously scripts were phoned in. I use twitter and FB apps the most but my favorite is the iPhone calculator.
2. Favorite and least favorite news topics to cover (besides violent crime)?
I enjoy covering the weather because it has so many variables. It is the truest form of breaking news.3. If you weren't working in TV news, what would you be doing?
I would be working for the CIA: still asking lots of questions but with a badge.4. What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
I loved Star Blazers. It was a Japanese cartoon about an old military ship that was converted into a space ship.5. When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?
I love walking, especially in the city. I find it relaxing and it makes me not watch or listen to news.6. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would jump on a plane to Italy. It is the first and only place I've traveled outside of the US. I love the history, charm and adventure of that area of the world.7. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
David Letterman. I think he is one of the best interviewers on TV. I recently had a chance to exchange words with him while attending a taping of his show. He teased me about standing when I asked him a question during the pre-show Q & A. I guess I thought I was at a news conference.8. Do you collect anything?
I love anything that helps me recall memories. Photos, memorabilia, articles, etc.
9. What are the top 3 played songs on your iPod?
I honestly don't keep much music loaded on any of my devices. I love listening to AM radio though.10. What is one of your favorite quotes?
"We're going to need a bigger boat."11. What was the last experience that made you a stronger person?
My travels abroad over the past two summers were a growing experience. It was such a challenge in some areas because of the language barrier. It was exciting to be able to find a way to communicate.More about Robert Goulston
