Jill Carey Is ‘Telling Tales’ On The Radio

4-16-10

After years of open mics, writer’s nights and offbeat theater from L.A. to NYC; writer, artist and professor, Jill Carey brings a new radio show “Telling Tales”, to Oneonta’s NPR affiliate WUOW 104.7.
From 8:30 to 9 a.m. beginning Sunday, April 18th, every other Sunday, Jill spotlights a talented regional writer; who reads their favorite short story on air, followed by an interview that reveals their inspiration. Throughout “Telling Tales” radio show, Jill infuses her original stories and songs.
Jill has been a regular guest on Gary Wickham’s “Morning Show,” reading reflective tales from her illustrated books, “Debutante Without  A Dress,” “No Customer Service” and “Life Half Undone.” Her books are a candid collection of inspired poems and stories laced with humor and emotion.
On a cross country road trip last fall, Jill wondered how she could best showcase the art of spoken word, express her stories and share some of the amazing writers she has heard at obscure writer’s nights.
Her husband, Ed Michaels responded, “You should create your own radio show; it’s the perfect medium for what you do. Call it “Telling Tales.”
 For the next twenty hours, they drove nonstop from Minnesota to Oneonta, brainstorming the format for what would become first show, with the central idea that  “Telling Tales is home to the best regional storytellers you’ve never of yet.”
