Yes, one tip for is to pretend you're talking just to the host...but I find it more effective to pretend I'm talking to a friend or relative who really likes me, but doesn't know about the thing that I'm discussing on the radio. I've also found that the biggest problem to doing radio interviews is not knowing what I'm talking about. If you're comfortable with your topic, you'll breeze through the radio interview! Good luck, Mike -- and do let me know how it goes :-) <abbr><em>Laurie PK’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/QuipsTipsForFreelanceWriters/~3/gDNloGVwilY/" rel="nofollow">Creating Multiple Streams of Income for Writers</a></abbr></em> I’m glad you found these tips for doing a radio interview helpful, Mike!

The announcer - Laurie Lancaster - wanted to talk about my "Unusual Addictions" article, which I wrote for MSN Health. Aaack!!! I did okay, I think....I feel like I talked in circles, and stumbled alot, and wasn't prepared...but that's how people communicate, isn't it? I'd do it again in a heartbeat -- I need the practice. Boy, those radio people have alot of energy. I've been on two radio shows now - Kim Iverson was my first - and the energy and zip those women have is amazing! I guess that's why they're in the business....but every time I'm do a show, I hang up WIRED :-) Anyone out there have any comments or suggestions about radio shows for writers? If you're on radio all the time, feel free to share some tips with us..... I just did a 4 minute radio spot on a weekend morning show for CJOB, based out of Winnipeg Manitoba.
