Part two with "The Peif"

Episode 11 is ready to roll...the second part of my interview with Steve Peifer.
High school guidance counselors usually get a bad rap, but this one has won a “CNN Hero Award.” So, you should probably forget that stereotype and tune in. Happy Days had "the Fonz"...RVA has "the Peif."

Episode 10

That rascally African internet is back up to its tricks again, so it's taken me a while to post this player. And since I don't trust it tomorrow, I've posted two different players, not knowing which "HTML" is right. One of them should work though.

I certainly didn't expect to have 200 listeners in my first three months of podcasting, but I'm glad you're enjoying.

Here's episode 9...the first part of an interview with one of my role models here in Africa, Steve Peifer. Kissing Tyra Banks, making computer centers out of metal containers, playing poker with Iraqi diplomats, talking Harvard into giving free rides to students? Is this guy James Bond or a Christian missionary?

Episode 8 baby!

And that's the topic too...a baby! Delivering a baby in foreign country is an adventure...from the hour-long drive on bumpy roads to the teeth marks on my arm to the memorable words of the Kenyan doctor after the circumcision.

(Did I mention that my wife didn't take any drugs for the delivery?)

Kenya 5-0

One of the most nerve-wracking things about being in a foreign country is dealing with government officials, namely the police. This episode tells a few funny but frightening stories of our run-ins with Kenya's "men in blue."

Episode #6...an Easter meditation

Now that the podcast episodes featuring selections from my book are finished, we're on to new territories. This week...a few thoughts on the Easter season.

Summary...Slaughtering a pig brings new meaning to an Easter ham. and the forgiveness of an African thief adds new beauty to the resurrection story.

Ebook update

My ebook sales are beginning to pick up after a real slow start. An ebook, in case you forgot, is a digital file that can be read on an Amazon Kindle or another portable digital reading device or even a computer. It's far cheaper than the paperback version and far more portable.

Ebook Crescent, an online store for ebooks, has picked up my book and is distributing it. It's been on Amazon and Mobipocket already for a few months.

Here's my Ebook Crescent listing.
