June 3, 2016: Tonight I was interviewed by Rodney Bardin of station KCTY/FM radio in Long Beach, CA about my book, “The Ultimate Book of Dad Jokes” – The interview ran a full hour with 3 breaks for commercials and station identification – Rodney was a most congenial host and made me feel right at home in a conversational talk session – We covered subjects as the source of my puns, how I think them up, do I have special areas I pursue, and in general how my mind works in this arena…

He read a number of the puns from the book over the air, and asked me for my favorite – Not having a specific one favorite I shared one that he as a former lingerie model photographer would appreciate: “Super models are often overly concerned with their face value and the body of their work” – He described his work as one of the more boring parts of his professional life…! I shared a little about my professional camera work, and spent a major part of the interview around the subject of my family’s internment during WWII in a concentration camp in Colorado under his questioning – He has several friends who were “in camp” and has an understanding of that episode of our history – He also worked with Pat Morita of Karate Kid fame in a TV series  titled “Ohara” about a Japanese-American Lt. of homicide in the 1987 era…

I had a fun time in the interview, and hope it helps promote the sale of “The Ultimate” book in time for Father’s Day – whether it does or not, I had a good time and this has been a wonderful emotional ride for me and my four grandchildren, Casey, Venice, Xander, and Teiya…
