Radio promotion has begun. We hired Event Management for both a radio and print campaign. After some 5:00 a.m. misuderstandings yesterday, I started today. The station was going to give me a wake up call, but after missing one yesterday I woke up before my 5:30 alarm. In fact, I think I did one of those wake up every two hour jobbies where you’re wondering if it’s time yet. Good thing because they only called at 5:40 when it was time to go live. But I was already up and at my desk with notes in front of me.

I was on WFLA-AM 970 in Tampa, FL at 8:40 a.m.

It’s funny how it works. The Mistress of Misadventure thing is a grab and they wanted to know what kind of whacky things I’ve done. Good thing I had a list in front of me. But I can still definitely polish. That was just the first. They say that after you’ve done a handful, they all come naturally. I bet that’s true because I saw that with the events and author readings. Anyway, I’ll post the radio schedule soon. It’d be cool if I was coming to an airwave near you. You know, when you’re waking up and having your coffee or driving to work at 8 a.m. 🙂

  1. Jen – I can totally relate on the every-two-hour wakeup thingy. When I do BBC Radio interviews, the time difference is a killer. You will get better and it will almost be like talking to a friend on the phone. I’m sure you did a wonderful job, though.

  2. Hey Jen,

    You really have to post any information about how we can hear those interviews – would love to hear them!
    But if you want some advice from somebody who’s never been on the radio and knows nothing of the medium, here it is: next time you’re about to go on the radio, suck in a load of helium, then apologize and explain that you’re only about four inches tall. Then about two minutes into the interview, start screaming that a cat just came in the room, and suddenly click off.

    Guaranteed national air play, my friend.

    Good luck,
    Conor
