Not much to do today, dear readers. In honor of Labor Day, I’m taking it easy. This post is going to feature another kind of media altogether.
This past Monday, I joined the ranks of Bob Hope, Fred Allen, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.
I was on the radio.
San Diego’s Steve Wolff and Catherine Magaña, financial planners and managing partners from Savvy Woman Wealth Management, asked me to do a guest spot on their radio show.
The broadcast was divided into four parts. The first segment was some introductory banter between Steve and Catherine viv-a-vis their recent trips to Del Mar Racetrack.
The second fifteen minute segment was Part One of my interview. This section deals with my bio and Letter From Elba– its inception, inspiration, you know, the creative stuff.
After a commercial break, (where there is a serendipitous advertisement for a divorce coach) Part Two of the interview airs. This dealt with the thorny topic of me and my money management. AKA “The (Nest) Egg and I.”
Long-time readers of this blog, have no fear. It’s much more a primer in what not to do when you abandon the sinking ship of bad matrimony. A cautionary tale of sorts.
The final part of the broadcast is an interview with Lupe Hairston, a gal who runs a San Diego window-washing business.
(You might want to skip me altogether and just listen to Lupe. She sounded pretty resourceful.)
So if you’re lazing around just chillaxing this holiday, take a listen on the link below.
And thanks for the memories, Steve and Catherine.
Happy end of summer, everyone.
Here’s the link if you want to listen in.
And now, please lend your ears to the most famous comedy bit in all of radio.
Happy Labor Day, friends.
See you in September.
Nice interview, Ellen. You were poised, articulate, and funny. Mazel tov!
Just what I wanted. A completely impartial, unbiased, brilliant review. Thank you, Doctor.
Great interview. It was nice to learn so much about the origins.
It is somewhat disconcerting to hear how many men you are in bed with on Sunday and Thursday mornings (of course, I confess to being one). The impending Prince Charming will need to get used to that.
Love the Jack Benny bit. Perhaps You Tube will prevent him and his contemporaries from being forgotten.
Thanks for the thumbs up, Michael. Glad you tuned in. And yes, funny how far away these famous radio names now seem. Thank goodness this technology exists. These greats deserve to be immortal.
Loved hearing the interview- the history and shout out. Thanks for the entertaining reads!
Lots of holiday love and thanks to my favorite Colorado reader. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Great job.
Seems like (almost) yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOWwN3T2xkc
Thanks, Fred. And thanks for the Elvis clip. He’s right. You gotta listen to the radio. (WLS and the Silver Dollar Survey.)
It was great having you on our radio program, “The Savvy Women Show.” You are articulate and your personality really shines through. Plus, I believe revealing some of your past history will be helpful to some people in the future. Hopefully the exposure on our program will get a whole different audience to “tune in” to your blogs. Having been a loyal reader of yours, I think they’re well worth it. As my radio partner, Catherine and I like to say to our listeners, “Savvy Up!!”
It was a lot of fun, Steve. I’m glad that I could be part of your new endeavor. Best of luck and break a bank book!
Great interview and a most interesting program. You are so relaxed and poised that it felt like we were sitting on front of cabin 13 on the once were white chairs and having a conversation. Love the Ojibwa connection!
Interesting that he started with the explanation of “Elba” as that was going to be my next question to you. I hope by now you feel like you are in Paris, not in exile any longer.
I feel like I’m back. Thanks to people like you.
