From the WUNC web site:
“It was during her reign as Miss North Carolina that Jeanne Robertson discovered something wonderful about herself. She can make people laugh. In the 46 years since then, Jeanie Robertson has made a living by doing just that as she gives speeches at conferences and conventions across the country. She joins host Frank Stasio to share how she turned her Miss North Carolina crown into a lifetime of fun on the humor circuit. “
