Shelley on Conversations Live Radio Show

I have been invited to return as a guest this week, on Conversations Live Radio Show. I will be the guest on Thursday, September 23 at noon CST – you can listen online at the link above.

I first appeared on the broadcast last August, shortly after the release of the book, interviewed by host Cyrus Webb. I also had an interview appear on Cyrus’ book club.

Conversations LIVE! is an interactive way for those in entertainment and the arts to come together to discuss whatever unites them in life. Conversations also addresses current events and conducts discussions based on them.

I hope you’ll stop in to listen as Cyrus and I talk about what’s been happening with the book, and my upcoming trip next month to visit the Invisible Children of India again!

Radio Europe Interview

On Tuesday, July 1, I was a guest on the Boland show on Radio Europe Mediterraneo, the largest English language radio station in Spain. The producer of the show contacted me after researching child labor in India and coming across my website and book. The twenty-minute interview was a discussion about the various sides of child labor in India and the conflicting issues surrounding how to get children out of the workforce.
