A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by my friend Frank Roche. Frank is the mastermind behind The Postcardist podcast. He and I met on Instagram (you can follow me on Instagram too, @rubbertrampartist), and we stay in touch via social media and good ol’ snail mail. When Frank was looking for folks to interview for the second season of The Postcardist, I didn’t just raise my hand, I waved it around and squealed, “Me! Me! Me!”
Well, ok, the raising of my hand and waving it around and generally calling attention to myself is all metaphoric for my excitement at volunteering to do something I suspected would be really fun. I did offer myself up for an interview, and to my delight, Frank accepted my offer.
On the appointed day, Frank called me and we had a long conversation about postcards, my blog, and the state insect of New Mexico, the tarantula hawk wasp. As I suspected, talking with Frank was really fun.
If you want to hear the whole interview, you can find it on episode 75 of The Postcardist podcast. While you’re there, you can stick around and listen to conversations with many cool, nice people who love postcards as much as I do.
I took the photos in this post. Both are available as postcards. Ask me, and I’ll tell you how to get them.
I have listened and loved the podcast. You sounded like old friends having a wonderful chat. I seldom make time to view/listen as much as they are entertaining; I always have time for a quick read. Thank you for both, love to all Auntie M
yeah, I loved this podcast! thanks for sharing. you sounded so calm and self-assured. I wish I could be like you!
I’m glad you enjoyed the podcast. It was fun to do. The Postcardist is a friend, so I tried to concentrate on just talking with my friend and not think about being recorded. I did stumble around a bit when it came time for self promotion. I am bad at self promotion.
