Walter's Wall (of Sound)

My interview with Chancellor Walter Wendler has been posted in small, downloadable segments, including his comparison of the degree's hanging on his wall (at left) to different kind of paper certificate -- a metaphor will cause you to 'take stock' in the value of your own sheepskin, if you have one. If you don't, you can get one here or here or here (at SIUC)

My contribution to the conversation can be summed up like this: You've heard of a face for radio? Mine is a voice for print. But the Chancellor warmed up on a couple of topics, and it was an easy interview, which you can hear for yourself. (Warning the sibilant "S's" can be a bit harsSsh, but the thinking is smooth and articulate).

With past appearances on WJPF-AM and WSIU-FM, and his own monthly television show, SIU Connections,, listed in his mulitmedia gallery, Dr. Wendler has actually blazed a trail in local .mp3 poscasting, and he didn't even know it. He is not at all reticent about talking to local public media. He has even appeared on WDBX on the Pepper Holder show (where Pepper kept peppering him for a job!)

If the Chancellor gig doesn't work out for Wendler, he could easily become a TV News Anchor, following the journalistic footsteps of another famous Walter.
