The video version of Babbie's House on the radio. I think I enjoy interviewing better than being interviewed. I did not know in advance the questions she would ask. They should have put me on the other side of Babbie, or I should have put the iPad in front of me instead of on the … Continue reading BABBIE’S HOUSE WITH TEENA MYERS
I returned from a five-day trip to a writer’s conference and sorted the phone interviews we needed to make for Christian Mix 106. Then turned my attention to my next project.
