I have to remind myself that when I started the show there weren’t interviews in every episode. I was freaking out because I had no interview in the can waiting for an opening. So I’m posting this interview of me that Simon Jordan did for his podcast back in January.
In this episode you’ll hear

  • how to win a great prize package
  • Colby Sharp‘s fourth graders answering my big question
  • how to get involved in Celebri-Dots. Here is the Celebri-Dots poster. Here is mine:

    Donna, I love that! They had such a hard time coming up with
    A conversation but every they’d be all over it!

    Katie, I listened to the conversation between your daughter and niece with my 17-year-old son. We laughed a lot because our son uses many of those words, like “yolo” and “HAM.” And he said he understood just about everything they said. That makes one of us! Thanks for the fun segment. Love your podcast every week!

    I love your slang discussion! Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess comes to mind right away. Her purposefully wrote the book with his own made up slang so that his book would never be dated. He realized that he if he did use current slang, then it would be dated at some point. It’s an intense book but brilliant at the same time. I read it in high school for my Brit Lit class.
    Your dot is super cute. I agree. Love it. 🙂
    P.S. I’m north of Chicago!

      Wow – I always say that, and in fact, said that in the podcast (maybe you listened and that’s why you said that?!!) And thanks re my dot. I have gotten such nice comments on it and frankly, never suspected that would happen! I appreciate it.
