Hi Miriam,

It was my pleasure, it was fun and I thought I would allow you to speak for all of us! Keep the faith and be safe up there in New York.

you know Barry was classically trained. He is a thespian… and has a fantastic speaking voice. Fortunately too he has some background it engineering audio… but I can foresee a day in the not too distant future when he is out in front of the mic too. thanks for listening Paul. But I was almost certain you wouldn’t miss. Miriam deserves our support of course too…. she rocks.

Barry! There you are. Thank you for everything you did behind the scenes! It was fun – as I clearly stated at the end – lol :) You kept that in. I enjoyed meeting you. Have a great weekend!

Hi Paul,

The secret weapon in that biz must be a bad cold. Some fifty takes later, I realized there was no way I was not going to sound like I was in a NyQuil commercial and stopped trying.

I haven’t chimed in anywhere on what a pleasure it was to record this interview between Miriam and jb. Miriam is a thoughtful and natural speaker and I really liked the way her soft spoken style forced our fearless leader to take his own delivery down a notch. Not that there is anything wrong with jb’s normal tone but it is always nice to hear another side of someone’s vocal personality.

Miriam’s enthusiasm is simply infectious and I could have listened to the two of them talking all day!

What a great interview with Miriam, and as Funky Junk Donn said, her passion for the HomeTalk community is remarkable, and contagious! HomeTalk is a very unique and engaged community, and it’s obvious that it would not be what it is today without Miriam. I have learned a great deal from her and feel fortunate to be a part of the HomeTalk community as well.

Closing thought from the audio interview.. I think Barry should start up a book on tape business. I almost thought you hired someone for the intro segment.. Ha!
