My Interview With (radio) Pioneer Helga Sitkin

4/8/2011

2 Comments

 
I was lucky enough to interview with Helga Sitkin of KCLA FM radio in LA a few weeks ago.  We talked about my novel, Crown of Dust, but Helga alone is reason enough to listen in.  She is 90 years old, has a fantastic radio voice and a mind that has sharpened with each passing decade.  In her 20's, during WWII, she was a pioneer in broadcast radio.  I'll post a longer profile about Helga soon.  For now, here's the podcast of the interview.

Hello Diann,

Helga was one of my first radio interviews. What an amazing woman! I should have been interviewing her and, in fact, after the show we sat for hours talking. It was such a generous gift of time she gave me. I don't have an online recording of the show. Somewhere in my files, I have a cassette tape Helga gave me. If I can find it, I'll record the show to an mp3 file and post it for you. There are some more recent online interviews here. https://www.maryvolmer.com/news-and-interviews.html. And if you're interested in Helga, I might be able to put you in contact with her son. Just send me a note to this effect here: https://www.maryvolmer.com/contact.html.
