Radio, Radio

by Michael Sahno | Oct 30, 2017 | Articles | 0 comments

Normally, when I’ve done radio shows, it’s been related to promotion of a novel, or of my novels in general.

This week, it’s something completely different. (If you got the Monty Python reference, kudos. If not, Google them after you read this post. Then thank me in the comments if you ever make it back!)

This Thursday, I’m actually being interviewed twice – and those interviews will be available online. I’ll post links as soon as I have them.

On the first show, I’ll be interviewed by Dr. Gayle Carson, also known as the S.O.B. (That stands for Spunky Old Broad. What were you thinking?) Dr. Gayle has led quite an amazing life. If I had a radio show, I’d be wanting to interview her.

We met at an event, and the good doctor has since interviewed a couple other people from that same event. That includes Dustin Matthews, co-founder of Speaking Empire. Dr. Gayle does multiple radio shows, and on this one I’ll be talking about “Living Regret Free.”

The second interview will be with Dr. Jaime Kulaga. Dr. Jaime is a business coach and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I’ll be sharing some tips on creativity with her. Again, more info on where to find these recordings as soon as I have it.

If you’d like me as a guest – either speaking at your event or as a guest on your show – contact me via email at info@msahno.com or phone at (813) 528-2622. You can find audio clips of other appearances here on the Press Kit page.

Have a great week…and Happy Halloween!

Slings and Arrows, Arrows and Slings

Almost two years ago, right at the beginning of the pandemic, I wrote a blog post called Sometimes All You Can Do Is Rock With The Storm. The idea was that, hey, everyone is having a rough time right now, and we’ll likely see more rough times ahead. Knowing that life...

COVID-19, Discipline, and an Uncomfortable Freedom

Last week, my wife and I did something we hadn’t done since March of 2020: we walked into a supermarket without wearing masks. This might not seem radical, but a word of explanation is in order here. My mother, who turns 86 this coming May, lives up the road from us...

Write Whatever the @#$% You Want, Pt. II

In last week’s post, I mentioned a pretty well-known author who has publicly reported his publisher “wouldn’t touch” a new release, in part because a character in his novel referred to herself as “fat.” I heard this story on a podcast, and I remember thinking, “Wait...

More Fun With the ISBN Number

I've grown so accustomed to cranking out my blog posts on Monday afternoons, I almost forgot to schedule one for today. Thanks to the magic of WordPress, I can write this in the morning and schedule it for the afternoon. By the time you're reading this, I'll be out on...

Let’s Get Personal: Why Do I Write?

I’ve been on a marketing campaign for the past couple of weeks, and missed my deadline for this blog last Monday…so I just plain skipped a week. Those of you who know me are probably a bit surprised. I’m pretty particular about getting things done on time. I’ve always...

Remember The 80s? Placing Scenes in History in My Most Recent Novel

Remember the 80s? How about the 70s, or even the 60s? Of course, I know the old expression: if you remember the 60s, you weren't there. But in my house, it was different. I was born in the 60s, but in my house it was pretty much like the 50s. No discussion of the war...

Navigating the Murky Waters of Political Correctness

“If you don't have a sense of humor, it just isn't funny.” —Wavy Gravy When it comes to political correctness, I’m not convinced we should go back to the “good old days.” I mean, do we really want to go back to calling someone born to an unwed mother a...

Strictly Commercial In SE Asia

Three weeks is not a normal lapse of time between blog posts for me. I try to blog at least once a week, anyway, but from November 9th through November 23rd, I was on my first real vacation since 2015. The destination: my wife's native Thailand. This was my fifth trip...

Would You Like A Side Order of Misogyny, Prejudice, or Homophobia With That?

I didn’t intentionally set out to write a new novel addressing the rampant intolerance, Islamophobia, and racism in America today. I really didn’t. My novels always start with a character, or characters. Sometimes their actions get pretty hectic right out of the gate;...

New “Writer Problems” Series, Topic #4: Isolation vs. Solitude

I’m a loner With a loner’s point of view —Bruce Cockburn, “Loner” Writing a novel is a solitary activity. We all know this. And while there are some exceptions to the rule—screenwriters who work on a team in a “writer’s room,” partners who write a book...

Another Hiatus

This blog has been around a while: it's been over ten years since I first embarked on the journey of keeping a blog running in addition to all my other writing projects and responsibilities. I went on a "blog hiatus" a few years ago as the result of a combination of...

Why You Shouldn’t Say “Happy Memorial Day”

I don't have a vested interest in Memorial Day. Although I have had many veterans in my family—father, both grandfathers, an uncle—none of them died in combat. However, in recent years, I've become aware of a troubling trend: that of treating every holiday with a...

Simple Steps to Boost Your Mood on Tough Mental Health Days

Every once in a while, I get an offer from a fellow writer who would like me to share a guest post. Today turns out to be a great day for that, so without further introduction, here’s Davis Jameson on how to boost your mood on tough mental health days: Busy...

More On Misandry and The Dangers of Toxic Feminism

"All men should start off in jail and prove their way out." —The dizziest broad on the internet I didn't think I would ever write a follow up article to last year's post, Misandry, Hypocrisy, and Understanding Toxic Feminism's Failure. After all, the title of...

From The Shadow Side to the Syzygy

Anima rising, Queen of queens Wash my guilt of Eden Wash and balance me - Joni Mitchell, Don’t Interrupt the Sorrow I’ve always enjoyed learning new words—or, as is more likely at my age, relearning words I’ve forgotten—so I was pleased to put syzygy in the...

Finding a Good Designer Is Like Finding Gold

Are you feeling grumpy today? Well, sure, it's Monday, so why not? So I'm posting some grumpy cats that I hope will give you a smile. These aren't just any grumpy cat cartoons. These are one of many features in the logo and branding portfolio of Mr. Ari Ombesi. Ari...

Book Launch Time: The Biggest Day In A Writer’s Life

Over the past few weeks, I've been posting a few hints about my upcoming book launch: Hot Scenes, available for preorder before its May 7 publication. Anyone familiar with my work most likely knows I have some humor in most of my books. However, this launch marks the...

“I Want to Bang on the Drum All Day”

Ever have an old song pop into your head and then it’s just there all day? For those of you reading this who are old enough to get the reference, today’s blog post title comes from a Todd Rundgren song from the early 80s, “Bang the Drum All Day.” Todd Rundgren was...

How Freelancers Can Build Passive Income Streams for Steady Growth

In recent months, I’ve opened up the blog to guest posts from fellow writer Davis Jameson. This month’s post is about how to add passive incomes to a freelance business, always a timely topic. Without further ado, here’s Davis: Freelancers who rely on client work,...

Do What You Love, and the Money Will Follow…Right?

Recently, I was reading a post from an online trainer who coaches authors and other professionals. This trainer discusses the contrast between writing for money and writing for passion. In other words, the age-old conundrum: if you do what you love, will the money...
