b'And now for something completely different....

You wouldn\'t think you\'d hear those words from a website that calls itself fringe. However, I have always wanted to do a variety of shows. I just love talking and listening to people, what they do, what they enjoy and their perspective, whether right or wrong. I love dialogue. It is a theatre of the mind- words create pictures in your mind that are much more vivid than television.

I don\'t necessarily condone nor endorse any of the websites mentioned and one should ALWAYS use caution, whatever you do on the internet.

In a week where many flowers, balloons and candy were passed around, it seemed only obvious that a show about internet dating should be explored.

These days, I get a ton of book agents sending me their authors books and promotionals and asking me if I\'d be interested in an interview. I turn down more, a lot more, than I accept. But, occasionally, something out of the box comes around and I just have to explore the topic. Due to the timeliness, this one just fell into place.

The author, Laura Schreffler. Her book, Internet Dating 101: It\'s Complicated, But it doesn\'t have to be.

If nothing else, hope you enjoy the interview as a fun conversation. It\'s not typical of what we do here, but in the words of Art Bell (paraphrased)- "Political talk radio is boring, that\'s why I decided to do what I do, it gets old talking about the same things week after week."

Little did I know, Laura Schreffler has an impressive resume - www.lauraschreffler.com (http://www.lauraschreffler.com)
