Last night Julie De Azevedo of Kjzz 14 (a local station) called to invite me to come on her “You and Me Monday” show to talk about Hold on to Your Horses. I’m still trying to convince myself that I didn’t imagine the whole conversation. The show will air from 9-10 am on Monday September 29. I don’t know whether the segment I’m in will be available online afterward.
When I sent off a press packet to the address given to me by a friend, I really did not expect to hear back. In fact part of me was glad that I was not likely to hear back, because appearing on television has never been one of my ambitions. But I will do it because it is another chance to get the word out about Hold on to Your Horses. I will also draw comfort from the fact that this is a local station and therefore likely to be a more relaxed experience than a more widely broadcast show. Julie was very nice on the phone. I think we can have a nice conversation about books and children.
Now I just need to convince my brain that 1 am is not a good time to mentally rehearse for an interview. I also need to figure out what to wear. Julie said they would send me an orientation packet via email, but it has yet to arrive. This naturally has me convinced that I imagined it all, or that they don’t have my email address correct. (I have a number to call if I don’t hear from them by Tuesday.) I also need to go knock on the doors of my neighbors to find someone who can record the interview for me. It would also be a good idea for me to watch the show this Monday so I can get a feel for the format.
I was her son’s EFY counselor in 2007!
Oh, wow. That’s great news! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
I found one video of her show on youtube

plus I did a search for her name on the station’s website
http://www.kjzz.com, and the results gave a number of videos from her show, such as Should You Give Your Kids Allowance? and : Managing Money in Marriage: Dr. Brinley Answers 3 Top Questions. But it also returned ones that were not her show. But you won’t have to wait until Monday.
That sounds like a great opportunity. Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll do well and hope that it’s posted online so we can see it.
Congrats, by the way! Sorry I didn’t call you back. I’m in Denver this weekend, which is a long story. I’ll call Monday, probably.
No problem. I know you’ve been crazy busy lately.
Cool! She was very nice on the phone.
Thanks! I’m sure I’ll blog about it and hopefully I’ll figure out a way to get the video online somewhere.
Thank you for finding those clips for me. I feel much more relaxed after having watched them.
I’ll see if I can get it posted online somehow. Unless I embarrass myself, in which case I won’t assist in posting it anywhere.
Now that is cool!
Keep plugging…the slow burn remember? All it takes is the right combination of elements and it will flare up!
Have fun!
