The author of CousinCouples.com
has done many interviews to promote the web site and educate people
on cousin marriage. Often the media mentions this website without
our knowledge, so the following is not a complete list.
(9/2000) Gear Magazine
Mentioned this website (pg.
52). This was our first taste of publicity.

(2000) Annapolis
MD Radio Talk Show
"DD" a member
of cc.com went live on a Radio Talk Show concerning
a bill to prohibit cousin marriage in the state
of Maryland. This talk show is primarily about politics
and many delegates tune in each week. The bill died
along with the reputation of the bill's authors.

(2000) The Montel
Williams Show
Three couples from CousinCouples.com
volunteered to be on the show. The show was well
rounded with happily married cousins, healthy children
of cousins, our critics, experts and legislatures
wanting to ban cousin marriages in their state.
Overall I think the show was positive for cousin
couples. This show on cousins was the highest rated
Montel Show of the season. CnMe, Jasper/Flash, and
Dan/Theresa were on the show. CousinCouples.com
was mentioned on the show.

(2001) 790KABC Talk
Radio
CnMe and I did the #1 radio
show in LA. This was a live show and one of my first
interviews. We were on the air at the same
time, so we kind of "tag-teamed" the questions.
It was great fun and my favorite one.

(2001) FoxNews.com
Featured an article on this
website, and interviewed CnMe. This
article is no longer on-line.
