All right, here it is.

Probably way less exciting than what I built up. (You have to scroll down to the second segment, called "Hometown Pride".)

But honestly, the thing that scares the daylights out of me is public speaking. Acting, no problem. And even public speaking if someone else writes what I'm supposed to say. But to just speak in my words? As me? Hell no! I end up feeling like a complete and utter idiot.

I don't know that I ever actually AGREED to do this interview, either, which was one of the things that had me extra-stressed-out. I said I'd answer questions about New Orleans for the screener, but the next thing I knew, I was informed of what time Kurt would be calling, yadda yadda.

Seriously, guys, I am BAD at this. Once when doing an early-morning radio interview back in New Orleans (yes, a city where you could actually get press for your small theatre production on the radio and on the morning news!) I was with a few other people, and I said something that caused them both to dive and push me out of the way and say "don't say that!" To which I replied - and did I mention this was extraordinarily early on a Sunday morning? - "Hey, you put me in front of the mic, you get what you get."

When I arrived at a rehearsal later that day, one of my partners just laughed at me. "You get what you get?"

Kinda.

Anyway, happy listening.
