Rick Kleffel is a local interviewer and reading enthusiast extraordinaire with the occasional spot on NPR, and we've talked a time or two before, so I wasn't too shy about strong-arming my way onto his show. I really like his interview style, which is to treat every interview as if it was important and to be well prepared for each of them. I often listen to his show on Sunday evenings here, and there's a uniformly high standard to his questions. You can catch many of his shows in the KUSP archives, or at his own website The Agony Column .
The good think about listening to my interview is that you'll get about 45 minutes of the great Sara Paretsky first.

Way to go classy author lady Graham of Grimm. Going to "hear you out" in the morning but before a late-night crash, had to heartily salute you spreading the good word on . . . words, (of course).
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me Sara Paretsky shall be telling the world of YOU.
Me? I'll grin wide at GRIMM TALES.

Wow! That was cooler than cool and you did so well. What a great overall presentation. This was a real treat, thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteTerrific interview, Seana! (I doubt I could be as articulate as you were.) I feel like a dolt that I didn't recognize the story as Puss 'n Boots, but then again, I had forgotten that that was one of the Bros. Grimm stories. I really like what you said about the community aspect of writing in this brave new world of e-publishing.
ReplyDeleteThanks all of you for checking it out. Kate and Sean, I plan to do an email about it to our fellow anthologists, but I'll say to you here as well that radio interviews tend to be a little like improv and though I tried to get in a bit more about everyone else, I didn't altogether succeed.
ReplyDeleteA particular thanks to you, Sean, for getting the challenge published in the first place.
Leslie, yeah, I changed the title to try and give everyone more of a clue, but in a way I'm glad it wasn't completely obvious.
Congratulations Seana. I look forward to listening to it later at home.
ReplyDeleteGreat, Glenna. And nice to see you around these parts again. I know you are busy these days.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of fairy tales, just caught this on YouTube--a Renaissance English-style Three Little Pigs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxoUUbMii7Q
ReplyDeleteI loved that, Leslie! I recommend it to anyone else who happens down this far...
ReplyDeleteAlso- My daughter and I are hooked on that new show GRIMM. Been a bit of a renewed interest in the darker fairytales on tv and books I've noticed.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting, isn't it, Sean. I've been watching the other one, Once Upon a Time when it crosses my radar. I think it's fascinating that they managed to land one of my British favorites, Robert Carlyle, to play the villain in an American primetime drama.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteReally great interview Seana! Fun to listen to, and you are a very relaxed and professional interviewee!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Rick is very focused and seems to have a great interest in his guests.
Well done!
Thanks, Julie.
ReplyDeleteI very sincerely attribute it all to the host.
