Achieve More Podcast
I had a great time with Tony and Mike on the Achieve More Podcast. We talked about lots of things. And who knew Tony was a professional wrestler in another life?

Writer in the Making
I am often asked what it’s like to be an author, which tends to make me pause. I wonder whether the person interested wants the unvarnished truth. Then I realize that I have to be honest. While the job can be fascinating and exhilarating, it can also discouraging and apt to leave one in need of a strong drink. Daria White and I discussed the vocation on her podcast Writer in the Making. See what you think.

The Baseball Lifer
I’ve met some very interesting people on my podcast travels.. The one who stands out the most is Don Wordlow, who invited me to be a guest on his show: The Baseball Lifer.
As you can probably guess, baseball is Don’s passion, and as I spent 25 years umpiring amateur baseball and covered all levels of the sport as reporter, we had a lot to talk about. Like me, Don was in the media end of the game, spending 12 years as a color commentator.
The thing is…Don is blind. From birth. He’s quite an inspiration.
Not in a Huff
My thanks to Jackson Huff for inviting me to join him on his podcast Not in a Huff. “This week we dive into the world of sports reporting as a female in the 1990’s with former ESPN SportsCenter host Anne Montgomery. Spoiler Alert, it wasn’t always fun and it certainly wasn’t always fair. She takes us from her mom’s less than excited reaction to hearing she wanted to major in sports journalism, to the stories of breaking gender barriers in the local and national TV world, to “aging out” of sports journalism (something that only is told to women it seems…), and what she did then. That journey took her to high school classrooms and into the pages of novels as she became a teacher and author. GREAT story this week from a really amazing person.” Jackson Huff

Community Cats Podcast
I don’t take sides in the dog/cat debate. I love both creatures. (My dog made me say that.) Still, I have tended to at least 40 cats over the years, most from the streets or shelters. I practice spay/neuter release, because that keeps the local stray population at a manageable level. Recently, I visited the Community Cats Podcast and chatted with The Head Cat, Stacy LeBaron. Take a listen.
