Enjoyable interviews

Sometimes at work I listen to Fresh Air streamed over the internet. It reminds me of when I worked at Fedex and carried around a little radio in my truck and listened to Public Radio every day for several hours. Today had a nice interview with director Jim Sheridan. He made some very insightful comments which I wish I could quote here, but I have never been able to find free transcripts of the show. It was something about how his father would bet at the races, and if he won he that would make him feel like he was right about everything in his life. And conversely, if he lost that meant he was wrong and a failure in everything and would feel bad about himself. I don’t know about anyone else, but I definitely do this sometimes. It’s so hard to not let outside things disturb your equilibrium. Small defeats can make you feel so totally defeated.
