EP 55 Behind the scenes with LA new Anchor Araksya Karapetyan. Everything you’ve wanted to know
How do news anchors detach from the influx of negative stories they have to cover every day?
That’s the question, and so many more, I was able to ask one of LA’s most recognizable faces; Araksya Karapetyan. She's a working mom, human rights advocate, and the co-anchor of Good Day LA.
We’ve had a few encounters over the years, when I’ve been a guest on her show, and she always struck me as a woman with incredible drive and pose—and I’ve always wondered how she juggles it all. In this episode, we find out what it’s like behind the scenes.
