It’s easy to be tempted to ignore or at least not be excited about the prospect of an interview on a small radio station. Some authors think a tiny station will have few listeners, and it may not be worth the time to do the interview.

It drives home the point as to why every interview is important, and also gives an example of what a clever pitch can do.
