Eileen jan! I listened to the show,it was amazing!Next time I'll chose my best poem & I'll give it to you to read it,cause the way you present poems,you give them life & melody... I also downloaded the mp3 file,when I reply it, I feel the quality is a little bit low but your voice deserves to be heard in better qualities! so If a better version exists for download,would you please guide me to find it? azat motshakeram :)))

Thanks, Moein. I didn't listen to the program in the archives. I'm glad you liked it and sorry if the quality is poor. At least you got the feel for my voice. I was also a bit emotional at times...and rushed through some poems that would make me cry because they are so precious to me...So my reading wasn't the best. Thanks for the support though. I don't know much about technical stuff. Go look for my blog...On Air with Drake...and send a message to Drake and ask him. Thanks!

I am listening to the show right now. I am 18 minutes into the rant of facebook going down, So far, you are trying to get the host to focus on poetry, which I hope you do...b/c now he is talking about sleeping with teachers LOL. I will keep listening... Hopefully some poetry comes soon. GOOd job, being brave enough to do this...bc I know from experience, it takes courage. "MISS WOLF IS OUT TO GET YOU" (*from the show) blonde bombshell whatever!lol----PS- I support ALL THINGS LITERACY

Yes...well, we did have a lot of fun on the show. It is about friendship....as well as poetry. It gets a bit crazier....there are archived ones of more serious type of stuff. I've been under stress...so for me, it was great to be silly for a bit.

Eileen jan,Last night I searched that archive & found & listened to your last program & I got to say it was exceptional!For one and a half hour I was separated from every day atmosphere & It seems to me that I was flying high over the clouds of literature!You're not just a great poet but also a fantastic presenter!The sentiment you added to those verses,the nice tone & harmony of your speech..was simply perfect!I'm sure any poem you chose to read,would be a great success!ba arezooye behtarinha!

Thanks for checking me out Moein....You should check the older shows. I call in on all of them. I think I've read much better on previous ones than on the last one. There was very little time and I rushed through the piece. I'm glad that you liked my voice. I've done radio presenting before. I enjoy it very much. Omidvaram ke az barnameye farad khoshet beyad!

Thanks, moein jan. This isn't the first time. If you check the archives...you will hear my voice. I've called in almost every time and once was a cohost. It is a very satisfying experience. If there is a poem you would like to hear me read...please let me know. Ba tashakoreh faravan.

You will do amazing Eileen, for those who have not heard your voice they are in for a treat. I have a house full of company so sadly I will not be able to join you. It is a long weekend and that assures many visitors to the Okanagan. I have no doubt you will be amazing.

Thanks, Richard. Kind of you to say that. I'm sorry you won't be listening in, but I understand. Seems every time I'm hosting...you're busy. At least there are the archives. Enjoy your guests.

I read this on your blog. Sounds fun!:)Not sure if I would be invited. We do lots of events for "Southern Fried" & "SoLPoets" and "PenZAroundtheGlobe", among other literacy projects for charity...Radio and Skype Events always have so much Pizazz! People really get involved. I hope your project goes great. Thanx for trying another one of my poems. Ones I've posted lately have been lacking in substance. Perhaps we'll find one that's more to your liking. Even if not, I will still check yours out!

thank you for the invite!, I enjoy the work. Do you know how I can start receiving notices when someone replies in these boxes? I am missing out on a lot of these valuable messages. Luckily I reread your poetry and see the responses often.

You are welcome to call in. Sounds like you are doing a wonderful work, JS. Pizazz is what we are looking for. Thank you for reading.
