I was interviewed this morning by WMUK's own Lorraine Caron. The interview lasted about 35 minutes (!), and will be cut down into a narrated, three-minute piece with a few choice bits of my dialogue.
The studio was lovely -- very new and modern -- and I felt immediately at ease. Lorraine was a splendid interviewer, very candid and bright, and she asked wonderful, thoughtful questions that showed she not only read the books but enjoyed them. I think it's going to be a really great piece, without any of the usual "Pow! Bam! Zip!" junk that usually accompanies such local-color stories.
Lorraine says that the piece will probably run Friday morning in the 7am hour, probably at 7:06am, right after the headlines and before the in-depth national stories. It will also run again in the evening, probably at 5:30 or 5:45pm. She also said that I can get an MP3 copy of the interview and post it here, so if you can't tune in either through your computer or your radio, you can hear me make a big goober out of myself.
Yay!
Awesome! I can't wait to hear it.
AWESOME! I can't wait to hear it!
Awesome! I can't...oh wait, they already said that.
But seriously: once you hear the edited-down interview, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on what they chose to keep and what they left on the cutting-room floor. And if there'd be any way to hear the full interview, that'd be aces too.
