The interview I did with Time At The Table is up over here. Enjoyed that. I was riding (not driving!) in a car at the time, the Wisconsin countryside sliding by…

Interview at Erstwhile Luddite
Gail of Erstwhile Luddite called me up a while back. Her questions took me places I don’t often go. You can read excerpts from our conversations here.
Behold the Glowing Dome
My second appearance on The Morning Blend is now online. I am most fascinated by the way the light rolls around on my head.
It was fun. They surprised me with those band photos!
Mike and Kacey on the Radio
I enjoyed speaking with Kacey (she was in New York’s Hudson Valley, I was in the back room of Racy D’Lene’s Coffee Lounge). You can listen to the interview here. I think it is important to note that as I understand it, this would never have happened if not for Kacey’s persistent sister, so thanks, Maria!
Talking Pigs
A while back I talked about pigs with Yael Grauer of the food magazine Spezzatino. The entire interview is available here as a downloadable .pdf. Yael asked some good questions that led the conversation off into a few less-common corners.
Louis L’Amour and Sharon Olds (and the Bible)
Over at It’s All About Books, I did a “Pick Five” about my literary influences. Now I want to be back on the porch at Mom and Dad’s place, reading with the screens open…
Mike on Book Club Girl Radio
Mike did an interview with Book Club Girl Radio, and while the main purpose was to promote the paperback version of Coop, he also discussed what his wife thinks (or doesn’t think) of his writing, took a few questions from Utah, used the word “vicissitude” for the second time in two days, explained “Tiny Pilot,” discussed tuba-playing in the country, verified that logging is tougher than writing, and admitted that there are a couple of chickens he never will be able to butcher.

Morning TV in Milwaukee
Here’s a link to The Morning Blend interview I did with Molly and Tiffany. First TV stop of the Coop paperback tour. The baby food reference at the end was related to the preceding piece in which there was discussion of Jennifer Aniston’s legs and “baby food diet”. Good luck with that.
Also of interest to me, if no one else. On shows like this, you have a brief amount of time to tell as much of the story as you can. Plus, it’s early. So I tend to go a mile-a-minute even though 30 minutes previous I was groggily bumping around a dark hotel room. This leads to mental fuzz. Note how I mention that the coop wasn’t finished before the first egg came; then note how I speak of my daughter going to the coop to find that first egg. Now I’ve got to go back and check the book and see what part of that quote is accurate. Sheesh. Glad I wasn’t testifying before Congress.
Eggs, Marriage, Music, Bon Iver, Etc.
Prior to a reading in Plymouth, Minnesota, I sat for an enjoyable interview with Aaron Landry of the Heavy Table. Poor guy, I rambled like sixty. I hope he didn’t try to transcribe the whole thing. The excerpted interview has now been posted: you can read it here.
Montaigne and Erectile Dysfunction
Fun interview I did recently with Cathy Wurzer of Twin Cities Public Television.
Yes, I really have been reading Montaigne lately, but I should have mentioned Dr. Suess, too…
