Earlier this week I went on Chicago’s hot morning show, Windy City Live (http://windycitylive.com/index ) , sharing some ideas on local gems that viewers could easily experience. What was different about this show is the live audience. My typical interview is in a studio setting with camera operators, sound technicians, producers and the host(s). It’s certainly electrifying in it’s own right, as you’re on live TV, but is very different than appearing in front of a group of people.

What I thoroughly enjoyed about Windy City Live was the added dimension of a live audience of 70 people whooping it up and enjoying the show. The audience created an added element of energy that guests and hosts can feed off of, leading to even better interactions, at least in my case. It was just plain fun.

The audience was mostly women, and mostly Chicagoans, and they made me feel welcome and at home. For indeed, Chicago is my birthplace! As part of my appearance on the show each of the audience members received a copy of my book to take home with them.

To watch the segment, and hear reactions from the audience…especially to some of my more disgusting food treats…watch it here: http://windycitylive.com/episodes/Tra...
