My First Podcast Interview

3/20/2019

3 Comments

 
I posted last week that I was scheduled to be on Pat Sloan's American Patchwork & Quilting Podcast on Monday, March 18, 2019 and I was!  Pat contacted me a few months ago and I'll honestly say I thought it was a mistake.  Who me?  Apparently it wasn't a mistake and yes indeed she did want to have a chat with me.  I filled out a "questionnaire" of sorts and then Pat turned that into a basic script for the show.  The segment was going to last 15 minutes and I knew basically what we would be discussing.

The afternoon of the interview I was extremely nervous as the show is live.  I wasn't worried about what I would say or what we would talk about but rather that my phone would drop the call or have cell phone issues.  Thankfully all the worrying was for nothing as my phone behaved itself.  A few minutes before the show Pat's producer called and informed me of what was happening.  Pat hoped on and we chatted briefly and then the music started playing.

I can truly say that it was the fastest 15 minutes of my life!  If you have ever met me in person then you know I can be quite the talker especially when it comes to quilting/sewing.  Mrs. Sloan is such a professional, she kept the conversation flowing and reined me in when I was blabbing too much.  We spent some time at the beginning talking about how I got into quilting, this transitioned into talking about the Finish-A-Long that I've been managing for the last two years and participating in since 2012.

I was thrilled to be able to talk about the FInish-A-Long and give it even more exposure.  We truly want you all to play along with us!  So I was just a chatting away and then Mrs. Sloan gives me the "we only have one minute left" and I'm thinking, "Are you kidding?  Where did the time go?" We didn't even get to chat about half of the stuff on the script!  Oh well, maybe next time, right? LOL

 That just about sums up the experience, it was really fun, just like having a chat with an old friend about a subject you could talk about forever.  No reason to be nervous and the best part is that I have this image (above) for forever proof that I was on a HUGE radio show and had my 15 minutes of fame.

Truly the best part is that it is recorded and you can listen to it now or later!  So if you have some time and fancy to listen to the show you can find my Episode 414 HERE.  If you take the time to listen, thank you and let me know what you think!

I heard it and you didn't seem nervous, you were really good! When I listened back to my interview with Pat a couple of months ago, my voice was wobbling for the whole thing and I was worried about the same things as you- live is scary!
