Josh Brogadir is a man on the go. When he's not anchoring the early morning news, or filling in on the sports desk at WCVB Channel 5 in Boston, he is likely acting in a locally shot movie or commercial. He also co-hosts the Framingham Access tv show, Novel Ideas, reviewing books and interviewing authors. In addition to reviewing books, he has done voice-over work on numerous books and video games. Josh thrives on being involved in a variety of different projects. In this interview we explore the ins and outs of what goes into making a decision to follow your dreams, and how to assess the risks involved. Josh shares great stories about his journey from being a school teacher in Framingham, to moving across the country with his wife, to becoming a news anchor, and then an actor in film, television and commercials.
