Go behind the scenes of Friday’s Breaking News Coverage on TheBlaze

From the horrifying attacks in Boston, overnight car chases and manhunts, to finally, a suspect taken into custody on Friday, TheBlaze team was working hard to keep you in the know on all the stories erupting throughout the news cycle. For the first time in TheBlaze TV’s history, we were able to do this live, on air, all day. Here’s a look behind-the-scenes at what was going on in the Dallas studio and NYC newsroom to keep our breaking news coverage up-to-date and accurate throughout the day.

Go behind the scenes with Glenn and TheBlaze radio crew in Dallas

by Sara J

A couple of weeks ago, I left the New York office to travel down to Dallas for a few days and check things out. Aside from enjoying the warmer (and more hospitable) southern weather, I was able to tag along for a photo shoot with Glenn and other hosts on TheBlaze Radio Network. Photographer George Lange took some great photos. Here are a few (less professional) behind-the-scenes pics I was able to grab of the crew. Enjoy!

VIDEO: Working on Man in the Moon during “vacation”

Sunday midnight in a studio with friends in Phoenix working on the most amazing flag raising for July 6 at Man in the Moon. I fly today to convince American Dream Labs to complete the vision. Humility.

Chronicling Victor’s final days

by Mark Mabry

Editor’s Note: In the article below, Mark Mabry describes what it was like to be around Glenn during the final months of Victor’s life. Mark is a writer, photographer, filmmaker, and storyteller with The American Dream Labs. He is currently working on The Man in the Moon and a yet-to-be-announced project. Mark and his family are also close with the Beck’s, allowing Mark to get a unique perspective on the personal moments in Glenn’s life.

“Take a few pictures of Victor, he is starting to get bad… you never know when his time will come,” was Glenn’s main request up at the Ranch last August.

So that week, I looked for my chance. Occasionally Victor would limp to the front law and lay in the sun. But mostly he laid by the door.

Glenn mentioned that he was going to start preparing the family for what was becoming apparent about Victor. He was nearing the end.

Not long after the trip I was perusing Vimeo, when I came across a video called, Last Minutes with ODEN. It was masterful, telling the story of a man and his dog with cancer. The man reminisced as he took ODEN in to be euthanized. The man was obviously not rich and the dog was all he had…

I sent him an email during radio… “Glenn, this might be incredibly insensitive to show you right now, but you may find comfort in it. https://vimeo.com/8191217 – Mark”

Typically there is a barrage of people that need Glenn to see things once he gets off the air. Nathan, Director of Creative Services, who sits next to me had just produced a great new show intro that he was anxious to show him. LJ, waited to give him some 1791 proofs as well.

At 11:01, strait from radio, he came up and walked over to my desk.

“What do you want to show me?”

“It’s a dog video. Maybe it’s not the right time…”

Nathan and LJ stood by, projects in arms.

“No, show me now.”

Ella with the cows on Saturday

It hasn’t taken much time for our younger shepherd Ella to realize she needed new friends. She has always only barked at the cows but this morning we found her out back. Maybe they were comforting her.
