#131. Do a Live, In-Studio Radio Interview.
...aaaand we'll be right back after this message from our sponsor.Back in December, I did a live radio interview with my friends Margery and Elizabeth (mas info aqui!). Totally nerve wracking, but ended up being pretty darn fun-- not unlike a regular ol' conversation I'd have with a pal over the phone.However, when my friend Dara asked if I would join her live in the studio for her show, Off the Menu, I was super extra nervous/super excited. Choking (not literally) when you're face to face with someone is a whole new level of panic.... especially when it's the face of multiple James Beard Award-winning food writer (albeit a nice one who is my friend. But seriously you guys, Dara is a big deal). That being said, I couldn't help but wonder if I'd get to wear big headphones and talk into a huge, phallic microphone. Hmmm.... that sounded awesome. So to WCCO I headed one cold, Saturday morning.I was Dara's first guest. We talked about cooking outside your comfort zone, hunting and fishing (and why us gals should do it), and more. Ten minutes flew by! Though I was a little rambly (at least in my head), it was a fantastic experience and helped me in my constant quest to find comfort speaking in front of others, even if I can't see the audience.And by golly (as you can see in the above photo), I DID get to wear those headphones and talk into the phallicky mic. HA!What really made my day: A few weeks later, I ran into Dara and she told me our conversation really struck a chord with the WCCO audience & wondered if I'd come back again. Anytime!
