Good question! Judging by this show, it might be called a disastrous mess….
The idea was to create a program that defined the concept of ‘American Hit Radio’. Heidy would interview me and ask relevant questions about the show, which I would answer, followed by a representative selection of tunes. We prepped the show, and I felt confident that things would go reasonably well. With the hustle and bustle of our daily schedule, though, we never discussed a(or at least I don’t remember discussing) something as simple as how we would arrive at the studio….so as starting time rolled around at the radio station, I was in a semi-panicked state about Heidy’s absence. Ten minutes into the show, Heidy called to ask why I didn’t pick her up…..
SIGH. Maybe you can hear it in my voice, or in the strange number of technical gaffs. At the time, the show felt like hell, but listening to it afterward, it seems to have fared slightly better than I feared. Thank goodness. It might not have been the show I hoped for, but it is the show that I got, so here it is.
What do YOU think of this? Is it an unbearable mess, or is it good radio?? Please post your own comments here.
