Family Matters with Nancy Redd: HuffPostLive

I wish that I could hop into a time machine and go back to high school. I'd love to find the teachers (There were many) who told me that I talked too much. I could let them know that one day, HuffPostLive would call to ask if I could be a panelist on their inaugural edition of 'Family Matters'. I knew I was practicing for something ;)

Video: Diabetes Hands Foundation Interview

It was my very sincere honor to be asked by the Diabetes Hands Foundation to participate in a live interview with their very own Emily Coles... We spoke about many type I diabetes issues, I made some bad jokes, Arden even made a couple of cameo appearances... I hope that you have time to check it out.

Live TuDiabetes Interview with Scott

Join Scott this Thursday, July 18 for a live video chat with Emily Coles from TuDiabetes.org. Scott will get chatty about blogging, type I diabetes advocacy, being a caregiver to Arden, his time as a stay-at-home dad and much more. It's going to be fun, hope to see you there!

Chat begins at 1 pm PDT, 4pm EST.

Please rsvp to the event on the TuDiabetes website so Emily knows how many scones to make - such a wonderful host!

Video from my Katie appearance

Since we were away on a family vacation when my 'Katie' appearance aired, its possible that I was the last of us to watch it. I want to thank you all for the FaceBook messages and tweets that you sent during the show, they really helped me to feel like I wasn't missing it - you guys are the best!

Okay, well... my hair was a bit fluffier than I would have hoped and my (IMO) best and funniest answers were edited out (Likely because I strayed off topic) but here is my first appearance on nationwide television. I had the audience laughing a number of times with my pithy and sarcastic antidotes about married sex but since they didn't make the cut, I'm assuming that they weren't in line with the tone of the piece. I mean, I don't think that I was too dirty... I'll have to find another way to share them with you someday.

See me on The Katie Couric Show June 19th

Station and Time Finder

I'll be on Katie Couric's talk show, 'Katie" this Wednesday, June 19. It's a syndicated show so it runs at a few different times of day. Use Katie's station finder to find the station and time near you.

After we taped the interview last week Katie asked me if I would also contribute to her blog! I've sent the piece to her digital producer and I'll link to it as soon as it posts. This has been an exciting few weeks and Katie has been so very nice, I actually have a message on our home answering machine from her TV producer that says that she is sorry for calling and asking me to appear last minute (As if I cared!) but that, "Katie asked for me personally" during their production meeting. 

The next day, I was on her stage - I had the audience laughing a few times during the segment that I was a part of, hopefully it all won't be edited out. I can't wait to find out! We are away right now on a family vacation so you may well see the episode before I do - let me know what you think.
