This Jay-merican Life
I can't believe this is still on the Web....
Three years ago, my only foray to date into radio came on the public radio show With Good Reason. At the time I was teaching college classes -- Ah, the good old days -- and agreed to read a story I wrote on the program, which highlights the expertise and work of faculty at Virginia's higher education institutions.
From their archives:
On this special holiday edition of With Good Reason, we feature an assortment of songs, stories and thoughts about Christmas. Jazz pianist John Toomey (ODU) plays his rendition of several Christmas classics. Essayist Sharon Hoggard (NSU) reminisces about how her mother's annual traditions. Writer Jay Lidington (TCC) explains how his father's struggle with Alzheimer's has affected the selection of his gift. Cameroon native Peter Tahsoh (VSU) contrasts America's Christmas traditions with those of his homeland. Poet Peter Meinke (ODU) reads three poems inspired by the season. And we end the show with a real treat - the 12 Days of Christmas as interpreted by the Gentlemen of the College, the oldest a capella group at the College of William and Mary.RealAudio of the show is available on the Web at: http://www.withgoodreasonradio.org/rams/2003/december/christmas.ram
