Our Diva Guest Adele Park spent the first twenty years of her career working as a television and radio reporter, news anchor and on-air personality. In 2008, Park formed Straight to Audio Productions, LLC and opened a recording studio in St. George, Utah. She recently released a HILARIOUS audio novel called…

WHEN RADIO AND POLYGAMY COLLIDE. . . Jitters-A Quirky Little Audio Book

This is what it’s about:

Shock jock Nancy Neptune who goes to work for radio station near polygamist compound. Neptune hooks up with a drag queen and one-armed reporter to rescue mentally challenged polygamist.

It features a cast of 15 actors who tell their stories directly to the listener

The story narrated through a series of newscasts with characters reacting to events of the day

Satire used to explore the practice of modern day polygamy

It’s available for sale on Amazon.com, Audible.com, Simply Audiobooks, Spoken Network and e-Music

This audio book is seriously laugh-out-loud funny and the lessons Adele learned in this publishing arena are fascinating as well, so we asked her about that.

Adele’s tips for recording from a home studio:

Today, you can create audios on your home computer and edit with computer software and then you can send audio files as mp3′s and they are fairly small. You can also do video to get your message out there. Cameras have become affordable and you can again edit on your home computer.
We asked Adele about her getting started tips. Here were some of her answers:

Examine who your market is:
Are you telling funny stories for your girlfriends, people in business world, or a big project that would later be available in bookstore as a physical product? Whatever it is, just get started and learn as you go.

Alot of people are doing audio and video in your community will do it for fairly inexpensively. Perhaps even a small local radio studio.

Adele got her start in radio as a college student, then did an internship, then someone from a competing station heard her and hired her.  There are always people around to help you open doors as you commit to walking through them!

Go to www.jittersaudiobook.com and listen to the 9 minute sample to get a feel for the characters and story and then purchase from any of the links that are there.  You will love this book, and you’ll love this show as well!
