Conversations with Calliope- On the Radio

By Joseph Langen

[img_assist|nid=5417|title=Daisies|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=0|height=50] (Daisies) JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How did the radio show go? JOE: Quite well I thought. CALLIOPE: Tell me about it. JOE: I have appeared on the radio before. Although I was not sure exactly what to expect, I didn't feel nervous. CALLIOPE: What put you at ease? JOE: I arrived early and watched the interview before mine. I had also met Wanda Frank, the host of the show and knew her style. CALLIOPE: What happened on the air? JOE: She asked me to introduce myself and my book, Navigating Life. CALLIOPE: Then what? JOE: I had sent her a brochure before the show and she chose several points I had outlined to explore further. CALLIOPE: Anything else? JOE: She wanted to know what were the major influences in what I write now. CALLIOPE: What did you tell her? JOE: I had been thinking about this on the way to the show. I told her I had nine years in the seminary and monastery to think about life, especially my own. Then I worked for thirty-five years as a psychologist helping people make sense of their lives. All in all, a good experience. Talk with you tomorrow.
