This page collects interviews, media appearances, podcasts, and recorded conversations where I have either been interviewed or helped guide the conversation as the interviewer. These entries include discussions about community projects, library support, civic involvement, creative local efforts, virtual worlds, writing, technology, and the people or organizations working to make those ideas visible.
Whether I was answering questions or asking them, each entry preserves a moment where conversation helped introduce a project, document local work, explore creative ideas, or connect an audience with something happening in the community.
