Called into a Radio Station - NPR Walt Bodine Show

March 26, 2008

Overly thrilled with the sound of my own voice, I wanted to share my call in to the KC local NPR station KCUR.org. The Walt Bodine show featured a few experts the other day called the “Book Doctors” who talked about favorite fiction. I decided I wanted to rant on the book I was reading at the time. My main thought while on hold, “Ok, Mike when you get on the radio, don’t bore them, take too long or sound like a wacko.”

Things turned out just fine. I really like NPR, which I never would have imagined 10 years ago. I like how you can listen to it and it differs so much from most radio stations. Say what you want about XM, Sirius satellite radio, I still think it’s important to be surprised by subjects too. Anyway, if you want to have a listen, I just clipped my two-minute part in .mp3 audio below.
