Not only was the event with Liane Hansen a delight (and I picked up a tip I plan to use when conducting interviews), but I hadn't expected another pleasure: seeing former CBG Publisher Mark Williams again!

The event was held at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point; it was a guest lecture by Hansen. Mark is now Director of Development at the College of Letters & Science -- so he was actually helping organize the event. The evening was entertaining and informative; her Weekend Edition Sunday program is one of the highlights of the week on National Public Radio, and she's a skilled lecturer. If you can't see her in person, do try listening to her two-hour weekly broadcast. It's available online, and you're bound to find it likewise entertaining and informative.
