DID a radio interview! Woot!

[aengus]

Tomorrow, 4/24 I will be one of a few people interviewed for a story on NPR (National Public Radio) . The topic is going to be about what responsibility if any falls upon a company who creates a virtual world. Since VMK closing is current they are very interested in our situation. Anyways, I am a little nervous but it should be great.

This story wont air for a couple more weeks however. Last time I spoke with the gentleman doing the interview he asked if there were any children I know he could also speak with. This is where you parents come in.

Can anyone volunteer a kid, or maybe two? ROFL If your a child and this sounds interesting, I wouldnt be comfortable turning you over to them without getting permission from a parent or guardian. So even if your volunteering, I need to get verification from your "superiors" (woot) @_@ before getting you to exchange information with the interviewer.

So... any volunteers? Send me a PM, give me a paragraph about why your son/daughter loves vmk

NPR is a great opportunity for us to be heard!

I honestly dont know Ill. I am not going anywhere, but because of my podcasting experience they are having me record myself. I believe it could be worked out using skype, but I dont want to put words in his mouth either. That was our original plan.

ETA: that will have to be worked out with the interviewer and the participant.

I have no way to record my voice but can you do me a favor and show them a letter I write. Just to show how the closing affects kids and teens of the community.

Sorry that just isnt possible, he already has what he is talking with me about squared away. They do want to get that side of the story, but they want to talk directly, they dont want me to speak for anyone

BTW, everyone, he will take care of the recording, I didnt mean to confuse people with the fact that I am doing the recording myself. Thats just because he knew I could.
