Veg is Sexy on the Radio!

I am so proud and honored to say that I had my first radio...appearance? interview!... yesterday morning! I received an e-mail last week asking to do an interview about food and restaurant service and... Veg is Sexy! The spot aired live this morning on Chicago's 89.5 FM and can be heard here on Vocalo.org. Thank you to Tom for a great interview and a chance to talk about the site.

Here are a few after-thoughts I would have liked to add:
  • How do I survive? Those substitutions...and vegetables! Fruits! Whole grains! Nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, breads, rice, the list goes on and on and on...
  • The "books" I was reading was Skinny Bitch, I just didn't know if I could say that on live the radio...
  • Correction: the law is 200 million somatic cells. Read more here.
  • More about those kissing pigs...yes, they are much better alive. Vegetarianism is also about compassion towards animals. Animal cruelty is lame.

I also have to thank Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, listening to the Food for Thought podcast has totally prepared me to answer these questions on the spot! She has influenced my opinions and ideas so much...I think I probably have her directly quoted in here somewhere ;) Thank you!

Cool!!! That is awesome. I've done a radio interview for a gay rights issue before, and it's so nerve-wracking. I didn't get to say half of what I'd prepared/intended to say. I know that "afterthought" feeling.

Congratulations, Andria!

Wow! The experience must have left you feeling so excited and so nervous all at the same time! I thought about how I would feel if I was in your shoes and I decided I would most likely muddle all my words and not say the right things and not impress anyone. What if they asked me something that I didn't know how to answer? Oh dear!

But I bet you didn't do any of that. I bet you sounded awesome! I should take a listen to your interview! Again, Congrats! :)

Wahoo!!!! How exciting! Good for you, Andie! I'm downloading the interview now & am going to listen once I find some headphones here at work. ;-) I'm sure you sound great!

Thanks for your compliments on my site, too! :) Still a work in progress, but it's getting there!

Wow!!! What a great interview!

You were so calm, cool, and collected throughout the whole thing! I thought your comments were really informative, honest, and funny. I loved how unapolagetic you were when the host asked some dificult questions; you handled them with poise and a 'bit of sass. Heck yes!
