Bear Creek Acres on KAXE!

Last week I was contacted by Scott Hall at  KAXE  ....91.7 FM on your radio dial . He was wondering if I'd be interested in being interviewed on the Morning Show that he does with Maggie Montgomery for their Local Food segment every Wednesday morning.  I would be a fool to pass up a great opportunity like this, but I got butterflies just thinking about it. Scott had such a nice, calm, reassuring voice when he asked me to do it,  and I had been listening, when I could, to some of their interviews because I sure found them interesting.

I decided to suck it up and say, "Yes, thank you."

All week I was on pins and needles. Last night it seemed like every time I fell asleep, I woke up from a dream in which I was saying something absolutely stupid on live radio. Then I started to worry that now that that stupid thing was stuck in my head.....I'd actually say it.

Well, I had nothing to worry about. Maggie didn't ask me any hard questions. I don't think I embarrassed myself.  It's just like Scott said...just a nice conversation about something I'm familiar with and enjoy. 

Actually, it was fun and I wouldn't lose sleep over it ever again.

Silly me.

Well, I had my 15 minutes of  fame. I went to the KAXE archive (where it's available for a week ) and downloaded the interview to my computer. So now I have it forever. Or until my computer crashes because I don't back stuff up very often.

By the way, KAXE (91.7FM) radio is a very cool station out of Grand Rapids. It's a community station which means that lots and lots of the stuff on it is done by volunteers who are regular people like you and me. It also means that they ask for public support sometimes.  On occasion, they also are a bit wacky - which is fun as well.

Check 'em out. They're good people.
