I’m scheduled to be on Rob Breakenridge’s The World Tonight this evening at 8 pm-ish Calgary time. Sounds like the topic will be the Star Phoenix feature from the weekend on blogging and the media, though I suspect there will be a mention of Marc Emery. If you decide to listen in, just keep in mind that radio does a weird thing to my voice – it sounds much lower in real life. Smarter, too.
It’s just nerves.Can you record it to am MP3 then link?
Don’t worry, Rob is a good guy. I always listen to his show.
Can’t wait ’till you do it on TV. Too bad I’m unable to listen to the radio.
Funny, I have a similar problem. Extremely deep voice, made embarassingly high when nervous. Just be yourself, Kate, relax and take your time to think of the actual words to use right before you actually speak. You’ll be ok.
No – It’s not because I’m nervous, because I dont’ get nervous. It’s just a weird thing that happens to my voice over the air.
Smarter…and better lookin’ too.
Good on you Kate. I will be listening over the net and look forward to the show.
PS: You will be fine. Rob’s a great guy and will make you feel at home.
To the other people that may wish to hear the show go to

and click on “Listen Live”
I listen over the net to CHQR.77 all the time from the Left Coast (Vancouver) and it is easy to set up. Test your system and with a minimum amount of tweaking it will even stream over a dial up connection.
Good luck
PS: Anybody needing advice setting up an Apple computer for this stream please E-mail me. Take care Glen
You have a short time allotment, and have to cram in as much as possible.You could always make the call from lying on your bed, sipping some wine,getting mellow….spark up a doobie from one of your trolls 😉
Oh, I see. Puzzling. Maybe the radio people are playing pranks? 🙂 BTW, I only get nervous myself when asking a chick out for the first time. That’s why I prefer to have a couple of drinks before doing that.
I’m reminded by Howie above that it’s the short time allotment in the MSM that annoys me. Sometimes I suspected Don Newman of “Politics” of claiming “time management” to cut off conservative interviewees during the Panel of Party Insiders segments. That in addition to my observation of a pattern wherein he always seemed to let the lefty politicians off easy with softball q’s while getting tough with all Conservatives, often cutting them off.
Right on! I’ll be tuned in as I always am on my nightly run to Calgary. Rob’s great btw. I wish his show were broadcast in Edmonton like it used to.
ciao
Kate,
I will be listening tonight, break a leg. Don’t get nervous? How about concerned? about the future of Canada under Liberal rule.
Listening live now, it’s 8ish Calgary time. Damn commercials.. blogs up next.
Kate was on Rob’s show before, that’s how I found the this blog about a year ago.
You sound great Kate!! Fantastic Job!!
Kate,
Your voice sounds fine! You also sound confident and very sincere. I enjoy your blog very much.
Kate you were great. Thanks for taking the time to talk with Rob.
Take care Glen
Hey Kate, there might be a few TV stations for sale in a few months. Now if you could just get around those union contracts.
For once I was actually home and able to listen to an interview. Ya done good!
I enjoyed the show very much have you considered running in the upcoming federal election
So little time with so much to say
someone needs to politely tell Rob Breakenridge to stop counting to 4 at the end of each sentence – his “pause for effect” style is very annoying and ruins an otherise excellent show.
Kate…Is there a recording we could hear somewhere?
Thanks to Rob’s directions,
I got the interview on tape by going to http://WWW.am770chqr.com signed up (free) clicked on Audio Vault – chose Mon-Aug 29 – then 8pm.
You get about 9 minutes of news and intro [ time to set record levels], then Kate’s interview starts. Nice record to have. 73s TG
Er, sorry Rob. That was Colin’s instructions.
Damn, that’s two mistakes since 1948 now. 73s TG
