Catherine Connors is a mother, writer and recovering academic who traded the lecture hall for the playroom and discovered that university students and preschoolers have much the same attention span. She still dips her toes into academic waters by writing the occasional scholarly article about the place of motherhood in Western philosophy, but mostly now she changes diapers and wipes noses and indulges in long reflections on whether Yo Gabba Gabba is a harbinger of the decline of western civilization. Oh, and she blogs: in addition to Bad Mother blogging at BeliefNet, she is, among other things, the author of HerBadMother.com, Managing Editor of MamaPop, moderator of Her Bad Mother’s Basement, co-founder and co-editor of WeCovet, Contributing Editor at BlogHer, and (deep breath) founder of and contributor to Canada Moms Blog. And in her spare time… oh, wait. She doesn’t have spare time. But she’s okay with that.
Oh, hey. Ever wondered what I sound like? No? Didn’t think so. But on the off-chance that you have been dying to know whether I have a high, chirpy Meg Ryan voice, or a low throaty Kathleen Turner voice or whether I, like, totally, say ABOOT and yammer on about hockey and bacon, well, I have just the thing for you. Behold, my Pepsico interview from BlogHer, hosted by BlogTalkRadio. In which, yes, I might have said a thing or two about bacon:
I’m pretty sure that I also said a thing or two about parenting and writing and being Canadian, but yeah: BACON. There was a lot of talk about bacon. Which, I don’t know. It seemed relevant at the time.

Hey, you don’t sound like Meg Ryan OR Kathleen Turner!!! Your voice definitely matches your pic, though.

I love how that poor Blog Talk Radio man could hardly contain his shock that you were not just any old “teacher” but a University Professor of Political Philosophy. I could hear the gears turning in his head. “Mommyblogger – is – hypereducated – and – smarter – than – me – must – shift – mental – model – permanently – GAH!”
And then you guys talk about bacon.
I think that may be my most favorite interview ever.

Why have we never discussed politics before?
Wait until you hear my interview it’s ALL politics.
