The Non-Mom: On the Radio

A few weeks back, I received an email from a colleague, who also happens to be Lyranda Martin-Evans from the book and blog Reasons Mommy Drinks, asking me if I’d be interested in doing a radio interview with her on Angela Fitzpatrick’s Career Buzz on 89.5FM. What’s that all about? Awesomeness that’s what. My first reaction was to forward the email to my mom, and Mr. Opposite with a giant EEEEEK in the body copy, and my second reaction was to write back to Lyranda ‘Of course,’ with a giant thank you at the end.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to be on the radio. Almost as much as I’ve wanted to be on TV. Almost. The experience was so exciting and fun.

In this segment, Angela interviewed two mommy bloggers, and one non-mommy blogger (me) about our writing, and also our day jobs. The interviews were about balance, the advertising industry (including where Lyranda and I work – kbs+), funny insights, and where we see our writing taking us.

It was one of the most fun experiences I’ve had, and I hope that one day I’ll get to do more. Below is a link to where you can listen to the interview. Lyranda goes on first at about the 2 minute mark, and I go on at the 20 minute mark, followed by Tiffany from She’s So Savvy.
