Well, I never thought radio commentator would be on my resume, but once a month I’m now going to be reading a piece on WJCT — the NPR station in Jacksonville, Florida. The first one — an abbreviated version of “The Tale of the Christmas Kahlua” — ran Dec. 14, 2009, and can be heard by clicking the play button below: [podcast]wp-content/uploads/podcasts/kahlua.mp3[/podcast]
It’s part of their local news show, “First Coast Connect,” and here’s a link to the whole show — you’ll need to fast forward through about 3/4s of the show until you hear the nasally-sounding guy — http://www.wjct.org/mp3/weekly/fccm.mp3
WJCT is planning on airing one of my commentaries every third Thursday of the month. So tune in.
That Kahlua piece, by the way, was one of three columns that recently won a Florida Press Club award for commentary.
