Doing your homework

I just finished a radio interview about birth order.

Apparently not very much research goes into booking guests for radio & TV shows. Lately, I've been getting at least one interview request a month to talk about birth order. And every time they are disappointed that I can't tell them about how birth order affects personality, that there's little evidence to suggest it does. They *wouldn't* be surprised if they read *anything* that I had written or said on the topic. (Well, except for that FOX interview, which was edited to make it look like I said the exact opposite of what I actually said.)

It's been making me think I should do more birth order research, just so I have something to say at these interviews.
