Podcast

Yesterday morning, while I was waiting to go on for the television interview, I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Paul Jenkins. He read Hold on to Your Horses and liked it so much that he asked me to participate in a podcast on the topic of impulsivity in children. That podcast took place today.

Podcasting was a much more relaxing experience than the television interview. With the interview, Julie and I had to try to cram an entire conversation into a 7 minute segment. Most conversations take longer than that to really get rolling. This podcast is just over 20 minutes long, which means there was time for the conversation to evolve and grow. There was time for one person’s comment to spark an idea in another person. It was a relief to not always have to be the one speaking. I could sit back and listen to Dr. Jenkins or Dr. Adams while I gathered my thoughts. This was my first podcasting experience, so I made some newbie mistakes. I sometimes made unnecessary/distracting affirmative noises when others were speaking. Other times I didn’t speak clearly or used gestures to carry part of my meaning. On the whole though, it is a good podcast which contains excellent thoughts for parents of impulsive children.
