Jen Maxfield is a human being first, a NYC reporter second - plus an author too. Hear why she says she HAD TO revisit 10 unforgettable stories

Jen Maxfield is an Emmy-award winning reporter and anchor who’s covered New York and New Jersey for two decades, currently for NBC New York. Maxfield’s first book, More After the Break: A Reporter Returns to Ten Unforgettable News Stories was published by Greenleaf Book Group in July of 2022. More After the Break was an instant Amazon bestseller. In her book, Maxfield revisits the most memorable stories she has covered during her TV news career.

Jen shares her top life tips for 20-somethings, and takes us on a vicarious joyride through her TV news career, including the most mystifying job interview she’s ever been on, which included speaking in French and the capital of Australia. 

Sh*t I Wish I Knew In My Twenties (SIWIKIMT) is a podcast dedicated to helping 20-somethings thrive in their twenties, not just survive.

Host Debra Alfarone knows how tough being in your twenties can be. As a high-school dropout turned-network-TV-correspondent, she learned most of life’s lessons the hard way. She overcame the odds and now covers the White House for CBS News nationally. She’s also a confidence coach for young women in the TV news industry.
