TV Appearances: Marnie’s remote location (northern Minnesota) lends itself more easily to telephone interviews, however, when crises arise, TV moments fly by as Marnie's energy, gentle humor and quick wit engage both host and audience alike. After his 2nd show with Marnie, Pat Evans, of Minneapolis' KARE-TV Today Show, commented that she was “…just full of good stuff!” Marnie can typically be in your studio within 24 hours of your call. Her experience includes:

KARE TV Today Show ~ KXJB TV Focus 4 Sunday 30 minute interview
KCNC 4 News Clip ~ KWHD TV53 Kitchen Segment ~ KVLY 5 News Clip

Next time you are facing a last minute cancellation, call Marnie!

Whether you choose to discuss cooking, raising kids, throwing an impromptu block party or handling life’s never-ending interruptions, your will find Marnie to be a fun, knowledgable, and motivating guest.

After a 30 minute talk interview with Marnie for KXJB’s Focus 4 Sunday segment, News Anchor, Joy Robertson, said, “This was great. I would love to interview you again. Call me anytime you are in town!”

While Marnie is committed to being available to you on short notice, please be aware that she has said no before: once when she was already pinch hitting for someone else and once when a family priority could not be moved.

Marnie learned early on that saying "yes" to something is, by very nature, saying "no" to what you would have otherwise done with those hours. Her motto is, “There is time to do everything God wants me to do – and nothing more.”

Marnie's choice to be a Pinch Hitter has enabled her to be home full-time while remaining fully available to you in any emergency. While she no longer pre-books, she lives her life on-the-go and remains ready-to-go should you find yourself without a guest.

She can typically be live on radio within minutes or in your studio or auditorium within 24 hours of your call. Next time a crisis arises, call Marnie!

If this an emergency,
call Marnie on her cell phone at

218-684-1181
