My national radio debut! bounce bounce

And so on Sunday, wonderful Andrew rushed me out of the house and got me to SABC Radio Park on time. In fact, before time. Which made me giggle as clearly he’s identified that when it’s something super important (like getting married), I might arrive a “little” late. He was having none of it… especially for White Knights national radio debut with Karabo Kgoleng on SAfm Literature!
We were zapped inside by the gorgeous Tsholo Pelo who was totally lovely and seeing my butterflies, invited Andrew to sit inside the studio! Totally divine and very special!
Karabo is wonderful, bouncy and uber intelligent… and she had me on twinkle toes with her intelligent, spunky questions! She loved the book (yah!), was totally professional and completely got the book. Her questions tackled some of the deeper themes in the book, from women in the workplace, to the contrasting of investment banking and the medical profession, to the various foils and contrasting characters. She also tackled the larger themes of the book, such as homelessness, being an outsider and eastern mysticism in the western world… which is wonderfu, because the book was read intelligently, appreciated and I completely loved the chat! wow!
And afterwards, while I was still laughing with excitement, we drove home on a gorgeous highveld summer day and cracked a bottle of Life from Stone sauvignon blanc and enjoyed it in our gorgeous home, the threshhold of which my dishy husband had carried me over the the day before! grin.
- Waiting… with butterflies!
- Astrid through the studio glass!
- Live on national radio! grin
