Radio Killed the *bleeping* Star
I wished I heard myself talking on the radio. It was the first time I talked on the radio other than of course having my name uttered by DJ Francis on NU for making a "sort-of" comment. Hearing your name is heaven, then if it happens many times, it can be annoying. Luckily, it never happened many times yet. Good for me. Or not.
My radio appearance (or disappearance or whatever you call that) was just to accompany a friend who is quite afraid of the limelight. I know, I have been featured in a local TV network and they bannered a headline with my name wrongly spelled, both first and last names, and not only was I shy to be broadcasted, I was also ashamed for the murderous attack on my name... needless to say I was only a filler, they were supposed to scoop some police news and they found me... supposed to be a news-worthy individual. Oh boy, they were wrong! Or not. I mean, they've been featuring dead bodies in their underwears in their show, at least I was a decent scoop. Decent, boring scoop. People need those "eeww" factor. They like 'em. And that means everyone must not die in the city or else you'll be one of those dead guys (and gals) in their skimpy red bikinis, innards hanging optional, getting gushes from the well-deserved audience. Enough of that TV stint. Back to the radio where you don't need to show your face and no one will ever tell you, "My father thought you're very small." I backfired by saying, "No, they just have big desks, and that I was leaning," or I was just ashamed, I literally went small. Again, back to the radio.
We talked a lot of stuff. I mean my fellow guests have notes with them. All I have was the idea that I may be able to answer the questions spontaneously or I'd like it to say extemporaneously. Oh boy, again, I was wrong. Bad idea, indeed. It was all about the "Telematic Age". I kinda researched that stuff, because the hell I know about Telematic Age. There's Ice Age, Middle Ages, Renassaince, What's my Age again, Age of the Living Dead, and yeah the Telematic Age. I never really researched, got no time. But, I was excited! Glad it was over!
After the excruciating one hour of haplessly looking for exact answers without sounding stupid, I was able to go through it all. I survived my first radio gig. Radio companies, you can hire me now. Radio is not yet dead or dying, Podcast is still "radio", and I am pleased to stretch, er, my, ehem, talent. Any violent reactions?
