I just got back to the Range from my early “Good Morning Northland” interview about my book “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range.” It may have been four hours in the car for 20 minutes in the studio and two minutes on the air, but I’m sure it will all be worth it … if not now, then in the afterlife.
For those interested, here’s how I think it went: Pretty OK. I didn’t bring the A-game but I didn’t embarrass myself either. Cassie Limpert had to lower her chair so that I wouldn’t appear as ridiculously short compared to her as I actually am. I think that got in my head and it took me a question or two to shake it. The people at “Good Morning Northland” are very nice. It’s my personal recommendation for northern Minnesota morning TV. Unless of course the person reading this right now works at Northland NewsCenter (Channels 3, 6, 11 and other much larger numbers). If that describes you then … baby, baby, they mean nothing to me! You’re the only local news affiliate for me, baby!
I’ll be giving my first reading of “Overburden” at the Duluth Barnes and Noble at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12. I will bring the A-game and no pleasant Amazonian morning news anchor will be able to stop me! Not even legendary eight-foot Souix Falls anchor Suzie McTallsy with her friendly plains accent and gentle ways!
