03/07/2005: "So what was it LIKE to be on the radio?"

Over SIX (YES SIX) people have asked me today, "What was it like to be on the radio?" Let me tell you, it was kind of surreal. You're thinking about so many things -- is the microphone in the right spot, how much time is left before we have to go to a break, make sure to give out the phone number, quickly scribbling notes to Dave to suggest a sound effect or a new twist, wondering if the topic is going to last long enough or do we need to stretch it out, deciding which caller to fit in at a certain time, counting the number of security guards that we would need to take out to commandeer the station...

Having never been even near a radio studio before, it got to the point where we didn't even really remember what we had just said -- we were just trying to push on with the show and avoid the proverbial "train wreck." BUT we felt a lot better in the second hour, and I'm sure with more work we could become smoooooth as silk. Will we get a chance to do "more work?" Well, who knows...
