Radio 101 FM Brisbane interviewed me on the story behind ME & HER: a Memoir of Madness … on Tuesday 24th April at 11.40 am EST. Athol Woodford (WOODY) quizzed me with probing questions, to uncover the truth.
Listeners tuning in, had the chance to win one of #2 *FREE* copies of my gutsy memoir.
How to Prepare for a *LIVE* Radio Interview
1) Print out notes with dates & places to help prompt your answers
2) Read through your notes SLOWLY, making pauses … Have a practice run
3) Visualize yourself going through the interview on a brisk meditative morning walk
4) Arrive early with your notes, camera, and your *FREE* books and a big SMILE. A happy grin will inject lay-back ‘easiness’ into your voice.
5) Remember to Breathe!
Can’t wait till tomorrow!

My sister is an experienced ABC Radio presenter. Her advice: The secret is to have 3 keys messages you want to convey during the interview AND, no matter what you’re asked, make sure your 3 messages get across in the time frame.
One of your messages would of course be the details of the launch.
Have fun in the interview!
Thanks Angela, great advice!
What are my#2 key messages??
1. Mental illness is like any other illness … it has symptoms, diagnosis, treatment & recovery.
2. Mayor Pam Parker launches my book at Logan North library on the 1st of May.
I’ll have to think about the third one 🙂
