You may recall that I was supposed to be on a Sirius talk show late last year, only to have my segment rendered obsolete by events the day after the taping. Well, it’s taken three months, but I’ve finally managed to get myself back on satellite radio—and this time, it’s live, so they can’t pre-empt me! A few months ago, after attending a Soho House workshop led by Karen Salmansohn, I re-ignited my acquaintance with the self-help expert and introduced her to Gretchen Rubin‘s Happiness Project, and then brought the two together to chat in person. Shortly after that, Salmansohn asked if I wanted to be “the book guy” for her new morning talk show on Sirius’s Lime Channel, “The Be Happy Dammit Hour.” In other words, I find interesting authors, I introduce them to Karen, and then they talk to each other. I made my debut yesterday with a full slate of relationship experts, and this morning’s show featured a pre-recorded segment with novelist Carolyn Turgeon. (The shows aired live from 8-9 A.M., but will be repeated at 8 P.M. each weeknight.) I’m aiming to do this about once a week or so, and we’re looking into getting some of those segments online as well, so those of you without satellite radio—heck, I don’t even have one yet—will be able to hear what’s going on.
