yellowperch Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Her it is http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=13. I think Dh sounds great--he credits Terry Gross. He says she was so well prepared, so genuine and warm, so curious and easy to engage that he couldn't help feeling at ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulubelle Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm on my cell - so I wasn't able to listen, but skimmed the transcript. Is your dh a pulitzer award winning war journalist? Wow!!! Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I listened to the interview and was pulled in by it, which was not what I expected at all with the topic. Your dh was extremely well-spoken and I loved how he elaborated on his answers without the interviewer having to pull each little bit out of him with explicit questions. Even dd (14) was fascinated by the description of the economy in which the guns were made compared to the way things work in a capitalist economy. This is not a book that in a million years I would be caught by in a bookstore, from the title and content -- but now I'm going to read it. Many thanks for the notice and information about the interview. P.S. Can we ask, and do you feel at all able to answer, what life is like for you with a dh who has had so many close calls and whose work is in the places it is?

sleepymommy Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I heard your dh on NPR today! He was great and while the topic was not something I'm usually drawn to, he really captivated my attention! How exciting for both of you:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Kudos to your husband! Thanks for bringing the interview to my attention because, like KarenAnne, I would not have expected to have been interested in the topic. I was aware of your husband's journalistic partner, Tyler Hicks, whose photographs paint the human face of war. I will now be on the lookout for your husband's work in the NY Times. Wow--I'd love to have a cup of coffee with you some day to learn how you cope with your spouse's absences when he is off covering conflicts.

Danestress Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 But missed it. Thank you so much for posting the link so we can listen to it. We are so proud:) I still remember watching Abbey's husband on the Colbert Report and sort of basking in the "WTM associated glow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 As soon as I turned the car on to go out for lunch, he was on the air.... he's a great speaker. Not my area of interest, but I listened anyway, just so I could say I did. He did great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmermom3 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 First, an interview with Terry Gross,whom we love, and now our latest issue of Esquire just arrived and there is an article by your dh. Thanks so much for the heads-up. Best wishes to you and your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 YellowPerch, I would never have thought that I'd like a whole long interview about guns, but wow, I was impressed and enthralled. Your DH was just so conversant in his facts, so able to answer things immediately and easily and thoughtfully. I think I will request the book from the library. Congratulations to DH--and to you!
