MY APPEARANCE ON THE RICHIE ALLEN SHOW

In order to launch my new book “Across Spacetime” in a professional manner (and not to panic!), a few months ago I hired an experienced coach, Louise Crooks. One of the things she encouraged me to do was to appear on radio shows.

Me, talking on the radio? No way!
However, as I was paying for her advice, I decided to give it a go.
We decided that the first interview would be on her radio show and that I had to find other shows interested in having me. I got in touch with various radios and I had positive answers. (Please see the details below.)
What would I talk about in the half an hour the radios hosts have allocated to me? My book is a short read, a science fiction romance and half an hour can be very long if you’ve got nothing to say.
But through a well thought-out questionnaire Louise has helped me to prepare for our interview. I’m so relieved, I tell you!

So, my first proper interview will be with her on Thursday coming 26th January at 12 noon EST or 5 pm GMT. I will write another blog post to share the link once Louise has created the event. Please join us!

We’ve been working on this interview for the whole week so I’m confident the experience will be great and I’m looking forward to it. I’m very pleased to be on her show before appearing on the others because she knows me and my work and can help me if I need it.

However, my first appearance on a radio show was last Thursday, 12th January.
Richie Allen, the host of my favourite radio show (The Richie Allen Show), broadcasting from Manchester, England, opened the lines for his listeners to discuss whatever they wanted to.
I’d been tweeting Richie during previous episodes of his show, commenting on the evening’s topics. To my astonishment, in the beginning of December he sent me a Direct Message inviting me on his show. We meant to discuss the details of my appearance in the following days, but he cancelled our appointment due to his busy schedule.

So, when he opened the line for callers last week, I phoned in. In the ten minutes I was on air, I shared my thoughts on the targeting of the homeless around the world and especially here in the Shepway District (in Kent, South of England, UK), on a topic in the school curriculum of my 11-year-old daughter that I find disturbing (the role of the armed forces in the fight against terrorism) and on my opinion on Brexit.
You can listen to the all show (it lasts for 2 hours) or just to my piece (from 26:38 to 37:35). I’d like to know your opinion on the chat so please leave your comment below. Thanks!
