on the radio. Oh Oh. on the radio. Oh Oh

during Fr. Thierry's week long visit to this, the newest home in the Heart's Home family, he was asked to do a radio interview with the young adult section (rmxpect) of the largest Catholic radio station in Austria, Radio Maria. He gave the interview in French, Fr. Jacques translated it into German...if I had the time I'd translate it into English for you, but alas...I don't currently, but I'll try to get to that. 

anyways, if you just happen to know French or German...give it a listen!! 

Here's how:

(1) go to this link: www.rmxpect.com

(2) click on the tab "radiothek"

(3) scroll down until you find the link entitled: "VAMOS AMIGOS: Interview mit dem Gründer von Points-Coeur (17. Mai)"

although Im hesitant to let you all know, I also did an hour and a half segment on the same radio station back in February. They asked me questions about America (most of which I had to look up before the on-air interview), how I grew up, the school system, my university experience, and then I got to talk all about Heart's Home and how I got here. The first hour is in english, and the last 1/2 hour segment was in some kind of awful german. 

I cringed the first and, Gott sei dank, only time I had to listen to it (in fact, I only could bear to listen to it halfway through...). 

I was so nervous during the interview that by the first break, Julia had to go get me a glass of water and open the windows because I was breaking out in hives (why am I so weird and anxious when I have to speak in front of people I can't even see??) 

Although I hope you don't find the time to listen to it :) you can listen to it, just like Fr. Thierry's interview...except for step three, find the link entitled: 

"Neuland: U.S.A."

*note: ugh...of course on the air for everyone to hear, I called Chicago the capitol of Illinois because I'm dumb and forgot about Springfield. For anyone who was offended, I am deeply sorry. 

note 2: I have never listened to the second half of the interview so I am sorry for any utterly embarrassing mistakes/misrepresentations of America I made then as well :) What's a girl to do...I'm here to love people, not talk on radios.
