The interview went very well; I was thrilled to be interviewed during Battle of Britain Week and to be sharing the stage with Louise Downie, Curator of Art at the Jersey Heritage archive, and author of "Don't Kiss Me; the Art of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore." This link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0021klz will allow readers to access the interview (dated "09/09/2009") until Sept. 16 2009.
