At age sixty, Nancy Camden transitioned from a visual artist of thirty years to audio storyteller through radio features and oral histories. She crawled like a baby down a digital learning curve. Falling and frustrated, she took her first wobbly steps. Eventually, she grew some teeth, toddled full speed ahead and spoke her first words. Hallelujah born again—on the radio! Nancy Camden's mission is to document the 'experts' of every-day life. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ALL of life is fascinating. Amen!
