Last week, I was interviewed by Marilyn Ball for her Speaking of Travel show on WZGM 1350 radio. I'd never been interviewed live before and was a bit nervous. Some of you have had that experience: suddenly a microphone is right there in front of you and you're speaking to God knows how many people, and all you can think of is "...uuuhhhh ...".
Marilyn, though, was a great host. She quickly put me at ease and it felt like just the two of us sitting around shooting the breeze. Only with a couple of microphones between us and an eagle-eyed producer watching the clock. In Speaking of Travel, Marilyn talks to people about their experiences traveling around the world. She asked to interview me because I'd been an artist, then gone off to Iraq and later Afghanistan, and come back to be an artist again. I mean, doesn't everybody do that? No? Okay, so I'm a bit odd. Perfect material for an interview subject.
The interview aired on the radio this afternoon, and the podcast became available here. It's 20 minutes long. Have a listen!
