I've had a chance to be on a number of different radio programs, both national and local. I really like doing radio, particularly longer programs on NPR and CBC since the additional time really allows more sustained exploration of a topic.
It's also particularly fun and weird to be on a show you've listened to extensively. I did NPR's Talk of the Nation a few years ago, and I will readily admit dorking out completely.
Today I got another such chance, albeit on a show that maybe not everyone knows: Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane. It airs on WHYY in Philadelphia, but is rebroadcast on Sirius at a time that I seem to be in the car, so I listen to the show often.
Anyway, I was on the program today along with Xerox PARC researcher Nick Yee, talking about social games, Zynga, Farmville, the usual thing. The show runs a full hour and includes some call-in questions. You can listen to it online. Even if you don't care about the subject, I have a great radio voice ;).
