Broadcasters are connectors.  The ambition and drive to reach beyond the microphones and cameras.  They become authors, so many of them are musicians and can cook up a pretty mean plate of Gordon Ramsey like dinners.  Oh wait.  Not Stacey Simms.  

She laughs out loud when talking about that little room with hot and cold things.  Her strength is in that connection with the community.  Instead of privately dealing with Types 1 and 2 Diabetes in her family she chose to learn about it.  When I say it.  I mean everything that is lived out every day from the medicines to machines and beyond.  

It started as a blog.  Grew to a book.  Now a podcast.  See what I mean.  Broadcasters are connectors.  

Yeah, we have a fairly lengthy conversation.  It’s not only about November being National Diabetes Month.  We swap real radio stories, what it’s like when you can’t turn off creativity, we share our personal experiences with September 11th. A lot of incredible talk in an age that’s completely addicted to letting our thumbs do the communicating.
