Yesterday I was interviewed by John Noel for WNBC’s News Forum Now. This is the first video interview I have done in a very long time.

I was once on the Lenoard Lopate show on WNYC Radio, promoting a film I co-directed (with Pamela Katz) called "In a Jazz Way: A Portrait of Mura Dehn" that was playing at the Film Forum at the time.

A lot of friends said my voice sounded really good. They have an amazing microphone at the Lenny Lopate show.

I never listened to that radio show. A lot of people heard it and insisted that I didn’t sound like an idiot. That was when I found out that sooooo many people listen to WNYC all day.

Now this. I am second guessing everything I said yesterday to John Noel and I am convinced that I am going to sound like an idiot.

It’s not easy being interviewed. BUT I LOVED IT. Okay, I thought it was a lot of fun. But when I do it again I will be more concise, more focused, more smart.

It’s not that I was nervous. John Noel was very gracious and easy to talk to. It’s just that the time went very quickly and I went brain-dead here and there.

I was thrilled that he asked a lot of questions about OTBKB. He even reads Smartmom because he lives in Prospect Heights. They even showed the blog and the URL on screen.

For those who watch it, keep in mind, I was a little nervous and I forget some key words in the English language from time to time.
