I have agreed to be interviewed from 7:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. on October 10, 2007 on a Youngstown, Ohio, radio show called "Morning Coffee with Tracey & Friends," hosted by Tracey Winbush, on WGFT - AM 1330.
I would not have agreed if it were taped, since I vividly recall Charles being sandbagged on BET when he was interviewed with Aaron McGruder. The last thing I need is creative tape splicing to make me look like an idiot.
Still, I am concerned because it is a call-in show, so if any of you guys has done this sort of thing before, I would be grateful for your advice.

Never done it before. But as it is my birthday, I will definitely call.
Let me know if they have an online feed as I am definitely not in OH.

My mum used to host a radio-show, and I would call in sometimes just to give her support. I think, as a visitor to the show, and not as someone calling in, you actually have the upper-hand--you have time to answer and think about questions, they have limited time to respond (if they get to respond at all). You can also frame your answer any way you like--and, like you said, even though they can splice you with soundbites, it's not as bad as someone splicing you with the camera.

What’s the topic of the show? Do you know anything about Tracey Winbush? As familiar as you are with the subject matter, it doesn’t hurt to “study your notes” the night before. Also, because you will not be in Youngstown, at least I assume you won’t, you can have various talking points at your disposal spread out on your desk at home.
Smile a lot. Exaggerated mouth movements obviously don’t show up on radio, and they get you out of your ordinary conversational voice. Speak in your best “Sunday going to church” voice.
The worst time I ever encountered was when I did a radio show on the Census 2000 initiative with a black oriented Detroit station. I felt like I was being sacrificed to the lions, as the audience was exceedingly hostile, and the show’s host did little to try to strike a balance.
