KFOG Interview (Bay Area Radio Station Promotion)

Well, I just finished the phone interview with KFOG radio station in San Francisco.  I think I covered everything.  I mentioned the devastation varying across our city, with the tourist areas being o.k., but the residential areas being hardest impacted.  We talked about our mission and cost ($65,000) to build a home; what the homeowner gets (0% loan); that homeowners do have to be from this area, work in this area, etc.; that they contribute 350 "sweat equity" hours and volunteers work side-by-side with homeowner. We talked about our effort to build hundreds of homes this year.  They specifically talked about the Musician's Village because they're coming down to help out with that.  I plugged Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis.  They mentioned their promotion on their website.  I mentioned our website and they made a funny, "Well, if they go to OUR website, they'll win prizes."  We all laughed and I thanked them and the city of San Francisco . . . and that was it.  It went great.  They, of course have uplifting voices and spirt; and I followed their lead.  I'll have to check if it'll be linked on their website.
