A Face
for Radio

How exactly does someone like me do YouTube?

I have what people politely describe as a face for radio and a voice that naturally lives somewhere near the bottom of the scale.

This raises a question.

Perhaps the mistake is thinking YouTube requires a face—or at least a face permanently pointed at the camera, looking enthusiastic about everything.

Maybe the van can do most of the appearing. The roads, repairs, campsites and unexpected stops can provide the pictures. I can remain somewhere nearby, supplying the deeper commentary.

It might work.

After all, radio never seemed troubled by the absence of my face.
