Yesterday morning, while I was waiting to go on for the television interview, I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Paul Jenkins. He read Hold on to Your Horses and liked it so much that he asked me to participate in a podcast on the topic of impulsivity in children. That podcast took place today.
Podcasting was a much more relaxing experience than the television interview. With the interview, Julie and I had to try to cram an entire conversation into a 7 minute segment. Most conversations take longer than that to really get rolling. This podcast is just over 20 minutes long, which means there was time for the conversation to evolve and grow. There was time for one person’s comment to spark an idea in another person. It was a relief to not always have to be the one speaking. I could sit back and listen to Dr. Jenkins or Dr. Adams while I gathered my thoughts. This was my first podcasting experience, so I made some newbie mistakes. I sometimes made unnecessary/distracting affirmative noises when others were speaking. Other times I didn’t speak clearly or used gestures to carry part of my meaning. On the whole though, it is a good podcast which contains excellent thoughts for parents of impulsive children.

You Did Great!
Sandra – I thought you did a fabulous job with the podcast, and now your book is in the hands of more parents (71 hits just yesterday). Keep up the good work!

Re: You Did Great!
Thanks. I’m glad it wend so well. I’m also glad to hear about the high hit count. Hopefully the hits will keep coming.
I might me missing it, but I can’t find how to download the podcast. I would love to listen to it, but don’t get to sit at the computer uninterrupted often. I often need to listen as I drive.
Is there a download link?
It looks like you can download through Itunes. If that doesn’t work for you, I’ll have to do further poking around to see if I can link to a downloadable file.
