Kathie's note: I worked with Ted on the Longhorn Radio Network in the late aughts. He was the scoreboard reporter, based in Dallas, and I was running the audio board in Lexington, Kentucky. The Craig we talk about in this episode is Craig Way,  play-by-play announcer for Texas. I've met up with Craig a few times in real life, but the first time I laid eyes on Ted, albeit via Zoom, was during this interview in July 2023.

Kathie's note: I worked with Lacy's brother, Beau, in sports broadcasting. He ran the audio board for the University of Kentucky and mine was the University of Texas. There were probably a dozen of us in the basement, in and out, with different schools and teams, pinch-hitting for one another on occasion. There's something about those live broadcasts, when anything can happen and often does, and many long hours, that made all of us foxhole friends. Stories, secrets, histories. It could get real. Sometimes extra family members came with the program, so to speak. Beau's sister, Lacy, for example. I got to know her through a couple of voice-over projects also, and I served as her book doula when she wrote Engaging the Heart of Hospice: Making Funeral and Memorial Services an Extension of Hospice Care.

Sarah Anne Leroux is a new mama and teacher living in Ontario, Canada. She considers herself a creative and feels blessed to have an impact on the future generation of writers. If it's not obvious by her episode, she has truly found her passion: teaching English to high school students. Currently reading John Warner's "Why They Can't Write,” it is obvious that this young teacher has the best intentions of understanding her students’ needs and responding to them in a variety of out-of-the box ways. When Sarah is not actively getting inspired for future lesson plans, she enjoys journaling for her own personal development, as she finds it tremendously healing.

Kathie's note: I met Sarah through Caveday, an online coworking space. In the spring of 2022, she was looking for a couple of people to talk to her students about creating magazines. I've written hundreds of magazine articles over the years and am a content creator for a hyperlocal publication, so I know my way around terms like recto and verso, widows and orphans, kerning and leading.  I offered to speak to her classes and had more fun than they did, I'm sure. The magazines these teenagers created that semester were pretty spectacular, and most were 28 or 32 pages. Yep, we talked about printing 4-up.

Welcome to the Writers Rotation podcast. I’m your host, Kathie Stamps. I love words: the way they look and feel when you write them by hand or by keyboard; I love the sound of words, their meanings and contribution to communication.

How much writing do you do for your job? There are so many ways to earn a living with writing and all kinds of different types of writing out there.

What do words mean to you?

In this podcast, I’m interviewing people in different professions about writing. They’re writing in academia, the arts, business, religion, sports; you name it, writers are everywhere. And I know we can all learn a little something from one another. Welcome to Writers Rotation.
