Maggie Reese wrote a book about her life dealing with the manic part of bipolar disorder. She started out a success as a runner but then it all fell apart. Ho Oct 27
So the story behind my first radio interview! I sent off a book to a Blog Radio guy named Cliff who showed interest in my book and said he might be able to give me an interview if it turned out he liked it! He read it and loved it. I didn't hear back for a while which is very typical in all of this kind of work. It takes time for people to get back....they are busy with life and business! Anyway I got an e-mail from him and he wanted to do the show. It was so much fun and not nerve racking at all. We did a two hour program that included my mom and dad calling in and two close friends. It was funny my husband Matt was so nervous he had to take Allie to Walmart to go buy an Angry Bird stuffed animal! Funny! He then had the World Series game 6 on while the program started. At the end he gave me tons of hugs and said how proud he was. My mom and dad called and were all excited too. FUN! Cliff or should I say Zeke...radio name) was fantastic. He also has Bipolar and it was great to connect with him. He understood me as all fellow bipolar people do. They just get it. Which is comforting. Zeke does mostly baseball type shows so it was really cool that he wanted to do a program on my book. I hope to fly out to New York to meet him on Tri-City field where he is trying to get an event there for a mental health day. New York I am there any day of the week. I like to see what goes on there in my weekly Wall Street Journal. Fantastic City + Baseball what is not to like! This may lead to more radio interviews in the future! Thanks to Zeke for taking that chance on me to tell my story!! To listen to the show press on the link above. Maggie
Had a great time Maggie! Not just on the show but talking with you before and after. I also like talking to fellow bipolar people. Most of my new friends have BP. There's just so much in common with our illness. Other people just don't get it.
