“I only regret that I have but one face to palm for my country.”

So...
I was on the radio yesterday. It was harrowing for my introverted self, because it combined two things on which I'm borderline phobic: Talking on the Telephone, and Talking to a Bunch of People.
Good interview, and good points, but just a touch disappointing: part of me -- not a big part, but there -- was hoping you'd sound just like Heather Gummer.
Odd. For someone who claims introversion, you do have a way of expressing yourself well.
A few months ago, I was at a gun show talking with a young female vendor who claimed relative ignorance of the trade, but expressed willingness to learn. I recommended that she read View From The Porch because of your experience in the trade and your ability to impart your observations in an entertaining and informative manner. I called it the School of Tam.
I liked it. You were coherent, you didn't stammer. You didn't make the mistake of making some kind of noise just to stay on air, and the pacing was good. I can't comment on facebook, but I'm glad you posted here so I could say good job.
It was well done. You should have your own show. Base it on your "overheard in the office" posts :)
ReplyDeleteWell done. I agree with Fuzzy Curmudgeon. It would be better than the podcasts I listen to now, except maybe Michael Bane.
ReplyDeleteWhich video?
ReplyDeleteThe one on the page you linked was apparently not the one you called into.

Kristophr,
ReplyDeleteTop one in the left sidebar. (And they called me. If they'd been waiting on me to call, I'd still be hovering over the phone in indecision.)
It's at 1:21:21 ... an hour and 21 minutes into the show. The whole thing is almost three hours! (2:57:14)
ReplyDeleteGood interview, and good points, but just a touch disappointing: part of me -- not a big part, but there -- was hoping you'd sound just like Heather Gummer.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!!
ReplyDeleteWell done miss.
