#309: This Cookie Does Anything But Crumble
Hear this history-making adventure of a lifetime.
What do you get when you hire a former model and the ex-wife of a Colombian drug cartel kingpin to run your CBS/60 Minutes field office in Managua, Nicaragua during the civil war in the ‘80s?
A never-ending party and one hell of a story, that’s what you get.
All pretty good for someone without any journalism experience.
Journalista is here to reveal the fascinating and little-known story of Courtney "Cookie" Hood. A spitfire in her own right, Cookie fearlessly uncovered one of the biggest scandals in American history, the Iran-Contra affair.
In a groundbreaking report, Cookie broke through the walls of secrecy and shook the Reagan presidency, changing the American – and global – political landscape in ways even she couldn’t anticipate.
The take-no-prisoners legacy she established in the newsroom follows Cookie to Journalista where she runs through the ins and outs of the Nica life in the ‘80s, touching on the greatest hits of U.S.-backed governments throughout Central and South America.
Host Steven Esteb brings the drama and weaves a solidly entertaining 9-episode narrative about a half-American, half-Nicaraguan party girl from New Orleans who embraced being the story while breaking the glass ceiling along with a few big stories and wasn’t about to apologize for any of it.
