Wow, that's AWESOME Tiff!!! Good for you!!! Don't be nervous, you will do just fine. Maybe jot down some talking point notes to refer to if you feel yourself starting to stall (at least that's what I do)LOL :D

I had a CPS interview last night with a lady who is writing an article for a parenting magazine. So, before she called I just wrote down some key talking points like: Extended rear-facing, extended harnessing, LATCH/Tether, aftermarket products, seeing a CPS TECH, tight straps, harness height, etc.... It really helped me out a lot!

Yeah, I'm going to include the fact that in our area the misuse rate is ~98% & what's so shocking about that is that it's based on the loving, educated parents ... not those kids at risk for neglect.

Woohoo! You will do great. If you wanted to share the radio station I'm sure that some of us could find it online and listen in.

I'm thinking about it :eek: Too nervous at the moment, but maybe I'll get up the gumption to share the URL :rolleyes: It's an AM station -- does that mean less audience :confused: (On 1 other I want more audience for the greater awareness, but on the other I want less audience :p)

LOL Tiffany, just imagine all of us in our underwear (isn't that what they tell people who get nervous before a performance?). In any radio/tv interviews that I have done the interviewer usually chit chats for a few seconds, does a sound check, offers you a glass of water and then you are on. If you get a chance before the interview tell the interviewer what points you would like to talk about, this way they can ask questions that are relevant and allow you to talk about what you want to get across.

Good luck, I'll be thinking of you! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

is there a web address where we can listen in?
Not sure that you can listen in through the website (either live or recorded files) :confused: http://www.whcu870.com

Just got done, though & I'm a bit shakey :eek: My parents are BEAMING :D I did say "um" a few too many times :rolleyes: but otherwise it was good -- mentioned basic misuse types (selection & installation) as well as how to choose a seat + where to get seats checked :) & joked about having to wear my blinders because it's so common & yet giving unsolicited advice often isn't well received....
