overease

I'll tell you, it is really weird to hear one's own voice come out of the radio. I only got to hear a single sentence of the broadcast this morning, because I had to go to a meeting. I'm not sure I can bear to download the segment. But I am assured it was actually on. Someone I met at a lunch meeting today said, "Hey, weren't you on public radio this morning?" (A grad student. Remember, I said only grad students listen to this program...) Now I am experiencing that same nervousness as when I was being interviewed, only worse: I can succumb entirely to nervous anxiety because I don't have to use any of my adrenalin to actually perform.
