Interview Beyond My Wildest Dreams

So I thought my huge interview last week that would be broadcast to 2 million listeners would be the peak of follow-up attention from the Wall Street Journal article on my backmasking page. I’m pleased to say, and more than a little in shock, that in fact I was just asked for an even bigger interview on a tv show that has 6.1 million viewers.

This is the big league, their previous guests have included Bono, Sean Puffy Combs, Chris Martin, Foo Fighters, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Paul Anka, Matthew McConaughey, Richard Bronson and many more. I’m keeping the name of the show under wraps for now—it’s a show you’ve heard of, but I don’t want to jinx myself. I just have to say, this is a dream come true.

Update: I was on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos.

Prairie Post

I think things have started to wind down in the way of media attention. I still had one interview today, for a smaller Southern Alberta newspaper, The Prairie Post, but I sense that next week will be a lot quieter.*

Below is a photo from one of the interviews I did yesterday. I went to a local CBC corespondent’s house (he has a studio in his basement) and did and interview for a show (non CBC) that will air on 200 stations and reach approximately 2 million listeners. Who knows, maybe that kind of exposure will start things all over again.

BBC Interview with Jeff Milner

*Update: I should point out that although the Prairie Post is smaller than some of the media I’ve been in contact with, it’s still delivered to about 25,000 households.

Friday the 13th Radio Interview on Broadminded

This afternoon (3:00MST) I’m going to be on a talk show called Broadminded on the women’s talk channel on XM Satellite Radio (Washington DC). They are doing some fun Friday the 13th themed material and my backmasking site with it’s apparent references to Satan will fit in perfectly.

The Interviews Keep Coming!

Not only do the interview requests keep coming, they keep getting bigger and better! Large media groups seem to be sensitive about getting “scooped” so instead of writing directly about who it is, I’ll just say the attention has been wonderful. I hope I can find an internship from all this hype. (The one I’m doing tomorrow will be on a show that averages 2 million listeners a week).

Update: The interview I’m doing tomorrow is going to take place in a recording studio, but I’m doing another one tonight over the phone on CFRB Toronto (listen now) at 6:35pm (mst), it’s Canada’s largest NewsTalk station.

National Public Radio Interview

Today I was one of the guests on Soundcheck on 93.9 WNYC (New York affiliate for the NPR). They were talking about the inventor of LSD turning 100 and how LSD has influenced music and 60s pop culture. The other guests included Dr. Marlene Dobkin de Rios co-author of “LSD, Spirituality and the Creative Process”, and David Frick, senior editor at Rolling Stone Magazine.

I finished off the show talking a little bit about backmasking. I had a good time, but never really got to talk about the things I had planned. He wanted to know what I thought about the connection with LSD and backmasking—which might be a great question but it was too bad for me because I have no idea. Overall though it was a great experience. I’ve always wanted to be on the NPR; now I have been.

Radio Interviews

This morning I was on the Jonathon Brand show in Chicago and as well the The Bob Rivers Show, Seattle’s top-rated morning radio show. This afternoon I’ll be on the New York affiliate of NPR (National Public Radio). I was going to be on the local rock station but I guess I missed them because I had to go to work. Anyway I’ve got a couple more interviews lined up for this week and another one next weekend.

I’ve been keeping a running list of all the media.

CTV News

I just watched the CTV newscast I was interviewed for this morning. I’ve been getting a lot of friends contacting me to congratulate me on all the publicity, so thanks everyone.

Here’s a link to the backmasking. I know that’s what you’re here for.

Tonight on TV — Me!

This evening on the news I will be on Global (local to Lethbridge) at 6:00pm and as well on the CTV news. I think that it will air at 5:00 and if it goes to Calgary again at 6:00. If it goes nationally it will be on all evening rotating with all today’s top stories. CRAZY!

The radio interviews in the states are coming in fast too. I have been asked for an interview with an NPR affiliate, and as well a pretty big radio station in Seattle wants to interview me as well. I’ll be doing a morning show interview tomorrow for a station in Chicago and to top things off Fraser and Rosie’s Big Breakfast show (a local rock station in Lethbridge).

Here is a clip of the backmasking article from the Lethbridge Herald. The story also made the cover of the Calgary Herald.
