Gina B. on the Radio!

Yesterday, my editor called to tell me that my presence was requested on a radio show. I called him back, and as it turns out, it was a call to appear on the morning show of WGCI, which is the number one urban radio station in Chicago (for those of you who live elsewhere).

I will join Crazy Howard’s relationship hour on this Friday morning (the 27th) at 9:00 am, and I should be on for about 40 minutes, which is a loooong time to turn me loose on a mic. I really don’t think they know what they’re doing.

The other thing is that I always have to make sure that I’m not being referred to as a ‘relationship expert.’ I don’t have an MD or a PhD, nor have I had a multitude of extremely successful relationships, therefore, I consider myself a Relationship Commentator, because I’m observant, analytical and verbose. The producer and I had to have a conversation about that because he’s so sweet — he wants to promote me as much as possible — but I avoid hype about that, just because I don’t think my love life is exemplary, therefore I shouldn’t be touted as an expert.

In fact, being a relationship columnist does nothing but make me want to remain single. Everyone loves telling me their horror stories, which is great because it gives me wonderful material, but at the same time, it makes me so happy that my life is devoid of a certain brand of drama.

But I digress. . . the point is — check out WGCI on Friday, January 27 at 9:00 am CST. If you don’t live in Chicago, you can listen online. Look at the top right side of the screen for the “Listen Live” link.

I only hope I don’t say anything embarassing, which I inevitably do in interviews. Oh well.
