Norma Champion - a podcast by SBJ Podcasts

Norma Champion’s career started in the 1950s, hosting a children’s television show on KY3. After returning to school to finish her degree, she worked as a professor teaching broadcasting at Evangel University. In a twist to her career, she was elected to Springfield City Council in 1987, which launched a decadeslong run in politics, including as a member of the Missouri House of Representatives and Senate. There, she addressed issues relating to health care, family and children, and education. She’s accumulated a long list of honors, but she says reflecting on her career now at 90 years old, it’s the memories around the personal connections she’s built that are the most significant. In this episode, Norma and I talk about how her faith influences her life, the impact of the death of her first husband and losing her vision, and what she still hopes to accomplish.
