National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Anderson McGregor, producer for The Alan Colmes Show, on FOX News Radio, on February 7, 2005 and several subsequent times through April 29, 2005. The initial media request sought for Mark Henkel to appear on The Alan Colmes Show on the next night. As other news broke, however, that original plan did not happen. This podcast episode includes 16 different phone calls, made over a period of almost 3 months, as the producer kept trying to find ways that would tie-in to current events, to have Mark Henkel be interviewed by Alan Colmes on the show. When the overwhelming "Terri Schiavo story" broke, they both tried to use the angle of a comprehensive article that Mark Henkel had written about the issue of marriage that applied to that story. That effort failed to succeed to get him on the show, as well. As neither the producer nor Mark Henkel was able to find a tie-in acceptable for the show to bring Mark Henkel on to talk about UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, this series of telephone calls/interview ultimately ended up as being to no avail. Overall, Mark Henkel gave some important, excellent soundbites, though - from pointing out that it is actually "catholic moral relativism that created anti-polygamy," to making his humorous reminder, "Not everything takes place in Utah." In this important experiential episode, listeners will learn significant insights about what is involved in "trying to work the media."
