How a toilet teaching tape got me on TV
If you do well in a media interview, and you have a wide niche that you can talk about, you might be called on by the media outlet to become a regular guest expert. How does that happen? Well for author Brenda Nixon it went like this:
In my hometown of Kansas City, I do a regular TV segment on Wednesdays. During our noon news, I speak on a parenting issue.
This assignment came on the heels of an interview with the station’s news anchor. She did a feature on my toilet teaching audiotape. Then while on maternity leave, she encountered the desperate lack of practical parenting on the news. Upon her return to work she called to propose I do this weekly segment.
Ok, so I stretched things a little to get a catchy headline. The point is, that Brenda did so well in her initial interview that she was uppermost in that producer’s mind when the idea struck.
