  1. I've done a lot of radio and a few TV interviews as well as newspaper articles several times. It can definitely be awkward if you're not used to it. When I was doing commentary for DVDs and hosting events it was easier to do interviews because I was "on" more often.

    I was a huge introvert when I was younger. In my mind I have to be "performing" to appear in front of a live audience or do interviews. And that makes it fun. But I certainly understand the awkwardness for sure.

     

    I kind of got used to it over the coarse of time where I didn't need a shot of JD before going on lol   But there were other factors as well.  I started working a job as a social outreach worker and it made it more difficult to line up times. When CBC would call me it would usually be at 7am to have me on that afternoon at a specific time. And I really couldn't predict where I would be and who i would be with at the time which just made something which was already stressfull for me even more stressfull.

  2. I think that it needs to be noted that people evolve. To suggest that I have a big ego or that I think that I'm the greatest bomber fan of all time comes from what knowledge?  Reading the posts of an 18, 19, 20 year old who was mostly made fun of for being over weight as a child?  I'm 33 now and I'm not the overcompensating adolescent I once was. I still love the Bombers and the Jets for that matter and I'm still very proud of what everyone accomplished back in the heyday of Ourbombers.com.

     

    To suggest I got off on being on the radio is rediculous. I never enjoyed it. It was never my thing to be in front of a microphone or worse yet a television camera which I turned down several times. I stopped being on the radio when I started not returning their requests or simply turning them down when they got a hold of me. I'm more of a hide behind the computer introverted person.

     

    I read this site often and enjoy the insights provided by many posters.
