A Conversation with Bethanne Patrick

I think that when we taped this interview I had just finished gaining all of my winter weight. I know that I'd just gotten an unfortunate haircut! 

Am I a little preoccupied with myself? Perhaps that's because...I'm interviewing myself! My wonderful, patient, longsuffering producer, Mark Jones, was quite eager to have me subjected to the old Book Studio Treatment the minute he learned I had a book coming out last fall. (For those of you not barraged by my tweets about "An Uncommon History of Common Things," which I co-authored with John Thompson, you can get much more info and buy the book with this linked sentence.)

To keep Mark happy, I agreed to the excruciating experience of seeing myself twice on the same screen. To keep myself happy, I was as snarky as possible to my döppelgänger. Even if you have to avert your eyes from the bad hair, keep listening. I hope I make you laugh!
