I’m excited to be a guest tonight on The Army Wife Network show “Army Wife Talk Radio.” This weekly 90 minute live talk show is broadcast every Monday night from 8 to 9:30 p.m. EST and is designed specifically for Army wives by Army wives. It is primarily a resource designed to bridge the gap between military and civilian resources and the families that they strive to support. Listeners can participate in a variety of discussions on topics ranging from relationship builders to parenting advice and care package ideas to health and wellness tips.
The show’s purpose is to motivate, inspire and empower Army wives worldwide to make the most of their military journey. Listeners hear the broadcast via streaming audio through their computer speakers, and can participate in the conversation via live chat, Skype, or by calling in to the broadcast. The broadcast is live and then archived and available for download on the web site in mp3 format, and is also available through many podcast directories including Apple iTunes. The show has two main segments: Main Guest and Resource of the Week. I will be discussing my children’s picture book The Flag Keeper for the Resource of the Week segment, scheduled from 9:07 to 9:22 p.m. Earlier in the show, Marijo Tinlin will discuss her new book How to Raise an American Patriot, Making It Okay for Our Kids to Be Proud to Be an American.”
The Flag Keeper is an illustrated children’s picture book that teaches children about U.S. flag etiquette through a fiction story, flag facts, activity idea, and discussion questions. It follows the story of Elizabeth, a bear whose father goes away on a business trip. During his absence, she wants to prove that she can raise their American flag by herself without his help. Unfortunately, some amusing mishaps occur, such as raising the flag upside down. The book has received endorsements from representatives of the national American Legion and VFW posts. It is available in paperback and as a $1.99 e-book edition for Kindle, Nook and more. For a special $7.99 discount code, visit The Flag Keeper page. I’ve noticed that the book is often ordered in bulk on Amazon, so for that reason, I now have a special group orders offer.
Based on Army Wife Talk Radio’s 2010 performance, the program averages 2100 downloads per show, and I’m honored to be a guest. I hope you’ll stop by and listen to the show, either live or archived. And if you know anyone who might be interested in learning more about the Army Wife Network or Army Wife Talk Radio, please help to spread the word!
