I want to add a link to an interview I conducted with Devra Davis about her book THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WAR ON CANCER for my radio show, Writer's Voice, at the end of which she told me I was "certainly the most informed interviewer she had had". That's because I spent 25 years as an occupational and environmental health educator, so I knew the issues well. I had added a link to the interview which someone took down, evidently because I had not known that I should ask permission on the talk page first. Well, I'm asking permission now--I'll wait 5 days, as per the advice of a Wikipedia editor who informed me of this process, and if there's no objection, I will re-post the link. The interview goes into much more depth than most other interviews of Davis on the topic and I think it adds to the knowledge and resources on this author. Here is the link, if you want to listen to it: http://www.writersvoice.net/2008/01/podcast-57-how-everyday-products-make-us-sick/ And here is one to a web-only excerpt from the interview: http://www.writersvoice.net/2008/01/web-extra-devra-davis-on-aspartame-and-ritalin/ --Francesca Rheannon (talk) 16:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
