Kim Anderson

What’s your name and where do you live?
Kim Anderson. Seattle, WA.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
I'm one of the people who started listening after the article in the Stranger. That was before I had a kid -- he is about to turn seventeen!

How would your friends describe you?
She's always cold, and she still has an answering machine for some reason.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav? 
Back then, I was sure my favorite cereal was whatever sugary thing I wasn't allowed to eat that had a good commercial or jingle, like Cookie Crisp or Apple Jacks.

These days if I eat cereal it is usually some kind of granola or Life, which my husband buys because it is a good value.

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Eating too much of any food makes me not love it anymore.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
A college friend and I called each other "Tony" for reasons too explain-y to explain. Sadly, that friend passed away a few years back, so that nickname has been retired. It is even more special to me now.

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be?
Midnight Train to Georgia popped into my head. Let's go with that.

What’s a special skill you have that you’re most proud of?
People at work tell me I'm good at synthesizing technical information into clear and concise paragraphs.

What’s a special skill that you *wish* you had?
The ability to speak many languages fluently.

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
I would never recognize Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk. Which is fine, because even if I did recognize them I would be too embarrassed to yell anything.

Can other Tens find you on social media?@klandersonland is my public (author) account on Instagram and Threads. I mostly post about writing, my pets, and pretty outside things. I'm on Threads more than IG these days.
