I'm preparing to go in 2023 here at the end of 2022 and that means getting a few things out of the way like setting up what I'll talk about on the radio over the first month. This is the breakdown for my half hour appearances on Downtown with Rich Kimball that occur every Tuesday at 5 PM and which are then posted on this site in the News section (not up to date--about half a year behind, but working on it and should be current in the next few days) and the On air section (which is currently up to date). Over the course of a year, I speak for a total of around twenty-five hours on various shows and podcasts. That's about how it has worked out to this juncture.
