… a little dream I have: to one day be a Talk Show radio host. If you can stop your eyes from rolling, and put aside that "Here we go, another media-mogul wannabee!" thought, let me self-indulge for a little.

You see, a few years back I decided that I wanted to facilitate conversations for a living. The pinnacle of that goal is the opportunity to facilitate conversations on a national scale. Getting small groups to talk meaningfully is great (and exceptionally rewarding), but to be able to facilitate national conversations where one gets to grip with the narrative pulse of a nation and a truly diverse range of discourse is one of my ambitions.

This dream had a little but of confirmation today as David O'Sullivan graciously let me be a fly on the wall of his Drive Time show on 702 Talk Radio this afternoon. Thanks David … it's a pity we don't hear more of your off-air quips.
