I was invited to be a guest once more on Chris Levels' radio show, Politics and Prophecy, broadcast on WSNL out of Flint, Michigan. Mr. Levels, as you may remember, is the kind and patient host whose program last March got me over my petrifying fear of being on the radio.
The funny thing was, I didn't even have time to get scared with this interview because I thought the radio program was today (Thursday) but in fact it was yesterday. At 6:55 a.m. yesterday morning the phone rang. Wondering who on earth could be calling so early, I ran down to answer it and found myself speaking to the charming young woman who is the station's sound tech. So within fifteen minutes I was on the air! No time to get nervous! It was great!
Chris and I discussed a number of issues, including the TSA (cough) "security" requirements, WikiLeaks, and other subjects. He hopes to have me on again in the near future to discuss SB 510 (the Food Safety Modernization Act) among other issues.
Thank you Chris for once again being the perfect host!

Scary experience
Well, I did something this morning I never thought to do...and it absolutely terrified me. I was on the radio.
A few weeks ago I received an email from a Christian talk show host in Flint, Michigan inviting me to appear on his half-hour broadcast. Since I have what amounts to a virtual phobia about being on the radio, I knew I had to do it just to get over my fears.
The phobia stems from the one other time I was on the radio in 1999 on a local station when we lived in Oregon. I always thought I did terrible - simply awful - and was so mortified over the experience that I never so much as listened to that episode even though it was recorded.
But my husband warned me that eventually these types of invitations would happen, and by golly he was right. So when Mr. Chris Levels of WSNL Victory600 in Flint, MI invited me to participate in his show called Politics and Prophecy, I was scared to death.
Mr. Levels was a perfect host. He fully understood my fears and encouraged me to be myself. After a restless night, I got up this morning at 4 am (even though the phone call from the station wasn't slated to come through until about 6:45 am Pacific time) because I couldn't sleep. As the hours ticked by, my hands grew colder and colder until they were positively icy.
Yet Chris Level's beautifully-modulated voice walked me through the interview with nary a trouble. His professionalism and kind encouragement were a welcome balm to my fears, and I'm hoping I didn't do half-badly.
A sincere thank-you, Chris, for your kindness in helping me get over this little phobia. I couldn't have asked for a better re-introduction to the world of radio, and actually find myself looking forward to the next opportunity.
