Cheers Sexy People!
Are you peeps ready for this? Brace yourselves! I am jumping out of my skin to share with you one of my most exciting podcast interviews to date! Recently I had the honor of speaking to Franklin Veaux via Skype for over an hour. Before you even ask, yes he wore bunny ears during the interview! It was awesome. (for anyone that doesn’t know about Franklin’s famous bunny ears, please listen to Part Two of the interview next week for an explanation, or if you want a spoiler, visit his website – but hearing it live is more fun. Just sayin’)
How in the world did I get this interview? Partly because of this AWESOME community. Recently I used his Map of Non-Monogamy in a post. A community member very rightly made a comment about giving proper credit. I’m embarrassed to admit that I did not really know at the time the origin of the awesome image. That is extra super silly because I have been following Franklin’s work for YEARS now (via xeromag.com partly not knowing it was him behind all of it). I decided to not only do research as to the origin of the image and credit it properly, but I thought “Hey, let’s do this right and ask the source.” Being that Franklin and I are Facebook friends, I just reached out and asked. And while I was at it, I inquired if he’d like to be interviewed for the Loving Without Boundaries podcast. He said “sure, sounds fun” – and lo and behold, it indeed was a BLAST! Such an incredible pleasure to talk directly to this man, hear some of the background story and inside scoop, and delve into his fascinating mind. He also is just a whoot with a great sense of humor, and a lovely manner about him. I can see why his sweeties have fallen for him. You are awesome, Franklin! 🙂
