My Podcast Debut - Interview on Field Guide
March 26th, 2008 by Ana
The podcast interview went off without too much trouble LOL considering I was a bit nervous and there was a typo in the call-in number at first. Since I used to be in the Army and lived under the “be five minutes prior to the five minutes prior,” that glitch was fixed before the show was scheduled to start. Big thank you to Duane of All American Blogger for inviting me to speak on his Field Guide to American Politics podcast show (direct link to my interview).
I’m listening to it now, and my immediate reaction is: I don’t sound like that! My son disagreed with me when I said it out loud. I sound almost like a female version of Dave Ramsey LOL but my voice sounds “funny” to my ears.
We didn’t talk politics, but we did cover all the questions he had sent me in email. We talked about making a budget, setting up an emergency fund, saving money when buying things, the debt snowball, and of course just how great life is once I became debt free. He asked me about why I started the blog, and where I get my inspiration. We also talked about marketing and resisting impulse buying.
Hubby is now chuckling at hearing me on the internet. Of course he hears all of these things every day. Now, if you want to (and are brave enough) you can hear it also.

Good job, Ana! I was excited to hear you.

Perhaps I should have titled this post “Redneck on Internet Radio!” LOL I am cringing at how I sound, yet Duane is urging me to start my own podcast.

I really think you would be great at it. I’m sure your readers would agree and would love the opportunity to talk with you live.
Now, here’s the clincher: you can get paid for it.
Yep, Blog Talk Radio has a revenue sharing program, so this could turn into another stream of income for you.
Just letting you know. BTW, you did a great job today. Thanks for coming on the show.

I haven’t listened yet but I am off to hear it as soon as I finish writing. I had to stop by and see how the boy was doing with his milk. I was thinking about him as I was pouring milk in my coffee this morning.

Ana, I had to stop in and tell you that you were GREAT on the podcast. I got a couple of chuckles because a couple of things you said could have been me fussing at my kids.

Thanks for getting back on that, Cindy. I am still having trouble believing my voice really sounds like that! I did try not to be too nervous or too boring.
