So I've read all about how important it is to build up your platform and all that, but dang! these interviews are getting obnoxious! Would it be too horribly awful to just say no??
It seems so strange to say this after so long of trying to build publicity for our journey, but all of a sudden the international press has jumped on board and every single day I get requests for more interviews. I really don't mind doing them, but it's getting hard to schedule them in. Just this morning, we made the decision to work our traveling around an interview with the BBC on Monday - I can't but think they should be working around us!
So - those of you with more know-how and experience in this arena (we have NONE!), how should we handle this?
(For those of you who don't know, we are cycling from Alaska to Argentina with our children - 18,000 miles in nearly 3 years. We're in Bolivia right now)
