Recently I had the opportunity to talk about my book series, Seed Savers, with Pat Rullo of Speak Up Talk Radio. I don’t completely understand the radio network thing, but they have an entire section on guest interviews, and most of the recent interviewees have been authors.
The interview was easy to set up and cost $52 to be listed on their site for an entire year. You can pay $25 more to have your interview additionally listed on iTunes and Stitcher. Not only that, but the money is donated to a cause called the Sewport Project.
Pat was friendly to talk to and the interview sped by. Since it doesn’t air live, she can cut out any rough spots. I haven’t listened to my interview. I felt like I prattled on a bit, so I hope it ended up okay…but I’m just not ready to hear it yet. :0
Since there isn’t a lot out there yet about SUTR, I don’t know whether or not the podcast will help sell books, but if nothing else it’s good practice.
Find out everything you need to know here or send Pat an email as listed on the link. She is very good about responding quickly.

Happy authoring!
Thank you for sharing your interview. I thought it was professionally done. I’m considering using this service for my own promo. I don’t know how many people actually listen or how many books it sells, but it would be good to have a new podcast on my web site. Good luck with your own book sales.
Yes, I agree. It may not be widely listened to, but it is out there and as I said before, it was a nice experience. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was very impressed. I am thinking about SpeakUpTalk Radio, and am glad that it funds a good cause. Your interview was very professional and informative.
Thank you! It was a good experience.
