Bob Dyer, who wrote the explosive series about televangelist Ernest Angley’s weird doings with his Grace Cathedral congregation, explains how he went about the two-month long project in this video.

This is not the smart-ass Dyer of his columns, where “I’m kidding” frequently follows some of his deliberately absurd sentences.

I’m trying to decide whether he’s Akron’s Woodward or Bernstein. In any event, a damn fine job of reporting. I see a lot of awards, maybe – although it’s a long shot – Pulitzer consideration.

Anyway, to watch and listen to our man Bob at the BJ, who has matured since our daily lunches together in the Blue Room, click on http://www.ohio.com/news/local/ernest-angley-s-for-profit-grace-cathedral-buffet-using-volunteer-labor-again-after-feds-said-to-stop-1.533069

This is proof that even a decimated BJ staff, by the standards of the 1996 newsroom size at my retirement, still can do some astounding work.

Apparently the Blue Room food didn’t contaminate Bob’s brain.
