I had the rare privelege of being the Literary Contributor for the radio program
"THE ARTS CONNECTION" on the National Public Radio (N.P.R.) station,
The show is no longer aired alas, but thanks to the
generosity of WMFE-FM, I can share some of my
interviews with many of the best writers who
happened to be in Central Florida at the time
Before joining the program, I also had the pleasure
of being interviewed by "The Arts Connection"
Host and Producer, Becky Morgan.
