OP this is really important. It is your only chance to choose a gimmick that can make your whole career. It all starts now, Pynchon with the no-photo and bad teeth thing, Houellebecq with the smoking, etc. They all did it for their first interview.
Since this is radio, you want to choose something to do with either what you say or how you speak. My advice would be to have a catchphrase. Something like saying "I feel you duuuuude" after each question, or fake a thick French accent.

Sorry for the delay, the dude cannot send me the whole interview right now because they have to do some technical stuff with it before they publish it, it should be online in less than two days though.

do NOT do this. you're there to promote your art. talk about that as well as your experiences in life from a writer's POV. the purpose of this interview is to introduce yourself and your work to other people, so be the writer and not the internet autist. keep that in mind before going in, but when you're there simply try to connect with the host as if in a regular 1-on-1 convo. his job is basically to be the public's proxy and ask what might be on their mind.

remember also that the host WANTS to get a good interview out of you. it's in his best interest that you're comfortable and everyone is having a good time, so don't think you're walking in there alone. just make sure you keep the subject on writing and life as a writer. if you don't want to talk about something DO NOT talk about it.

it will all probably be easier than you think, but that is just some general advice. more than likely you'll be fine. good luck OP!
