PODCAST: A Book Coach and a Doctor walk into a bar

Dr Sharon McLaughlin, MD, FACS, asked if I was interested in joining her on her podcast to talk about writing your first book. Sharon’s podcast’s a big deal. I was up for it!

What you don’t hear is what happened before the microphones rolled.

With typical British reserve, I thought Sharon only wanted me to pitch for a slot. So I turned up, earnestly eager to persuade.

You know that cold feeling of dawning realisation, trickling down your back?

Thus, on seeing Sharon with her podcast-professional-background and ready for action:

Me: Oh – are we’re doing the podcast today?

Yes! says Sharon. Get a glass of water – we’re good to go. Ready? Record!

And so we did. If you want to hear us, click here.
