International Women’s Day – On Being Liked
On this International Women’s Day, I suggest to you, my sisters, that we need to stop worrying about being liked. I stopped some time ago.

Sentiment and Sensibility
It’s not really possible for journalists to be unbiased. Everyone has a bias. The goal for journalists is to overcome their bias for their work. They can do it. And I’ll show you how.

Supportive Stars
Watching the mutual support between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga reminds me of so many times in radio when that wasn’t the case for me. It’s clear that Cooper and Gaga have true affection for each other. The cold, hard fact is, they’re promoting a movie, but they’re doing it with grace and admiration. When you find that in broadcasting, it’s rare, as I’m sure my radio colleagues will testify.

Smelling Roses
Maybe it’s because I get to see the sunrise in the morning now. Maybe the fact that I have more control over my days has something to do with it. I’ve always been grateful for so many good fortunes in my life, but lately that gratitude can bring me to tears. Look away – I’m a mess!

When I don’t have a writing or voicing job on the go, and I’m not helping Derek by editing an audiobook, I troll the Internet for freelance work.

The Amazon Echo, also known as Alexa, is becoming more popular every day. Derek and I have had one for a few years, dating back to the start of our involvement with the company Witlingo. We both contribute voice work to the Witlingo stable of “skills” – the term for apps in the voice-first world.
