On September 13, 2022, I was interviewed by author Nancy Silcox on Promenade 98.5 CKWR, a Community Radio Station in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. It's a wide-ranging interview on the three memoirs I have written and published, so far, my career as an international filmmaker and media producer, and what I am writing about now. See my author's website below for more information on the memoirs, many reviews and posts, awards, and where to buy. I'd be glad to have feedback!  Neill McKee, M.S.
