THANKS MICHELE!

So, I’ve never been on radio before. I usually can talk all day and feel pretty good about it, but when you have that big fuzzy microphone in your face, somehow things change. The words coming out of your mouth are foreign and the sound of your voice is muffled and sounds high pitch like an excited child. It is all sort of like a dream. You are there but not really in control. At least that’s what it felt like for me last night when I sat in on my first LIVE radio show with Pro Michele Anna Jordan on KRCB radio. Granted, Michele has been doing this for some time now, but no doubt she is a natural. We had a full room including Jil Hales from Barndiva and Studio Barndiva/Artists & Farmers, Lukka P. A. Feldman also of Barndiva and Bonnie Z of Dragonfly Farms and Floral.

Michele is the host of Mouthful, a food, wine and lifestyle show that airs live every Sunday from 7pm to 8pm. Most of the discussions that fill her hour long program include winemakers, farmers, food authors, writers, photographers, filmmakers, nutritionists, chefs, restaurateurs and environmentalists, to name a few. Given that, I felt very honored to be invited to a show that veered off her usual path and focused more on local businesses with a keen eye for eco-green-ethical-independent-organic-artistic practices. Michele is a long time advocate of the mantra “Shop Local”. She opened her show with an inspiring story of how demeaning and depressing the whole Box Store shopping experience can be. The idea is to feel happy and fulfilled at the end of your shopping day and that is exactly what local businesses like Arboretum and the ladies at Artists & Farmers can provide. So we teamed up and with the help of our lovely host were able to talk about all the positive aspects of retail that our stores offer.

If you missed the show last night show, fret not. You can get it for free this Wednesday, December 5th on iTunes.  Simply go to your iTunes store, click podcasts and search for “Mouthful”.  Subscribe and the world of Mouthful is yours for FREE!

THANK YOU MICHELE!
