You have the personal memoir down to a science and I thoroughly enjoyed the technical aspects of running a radio show. I liked the bit about the broken Christmas bulb especially. Each of the episodes seemed very realistic and I was right there with you the entire time. Great job. Ray.

    Hopefully I don't eclipse the show or commentary. I did enjoy the awkwardness of that moment. Realism is paramount in this as I want to accurately depict the radio station. I thank you very much for the compliments and this review. Mike

This was a very interesting piece. You obviously love radio! I would have given you five stars if the sentence structure had been better. A few sentences didn't make sense to me. Some of then were very long. I know that's the way people talk, but it might be good to break them up a little. Flapjacks and Forties and Beer and Bacon sounded like fun!

Mike, nice write...an interesting story of them and you, joining in on the listening edge! Well, I am surprised about the radio station keeping its number and lasting as, most are bought and changed, all hands!! I am truely impressed. I took radio and tv, have my card and could go on the air...did my recordings but at the time, needed a higher paying job, for kids in college! Oh, well, this was nice, I laughed at the fun they must have had, and an honor so young for that fellow..thanks for sharing this story! have a gorgeous weekend, much love, twomoon

    Check out "Caution! Mickey On Board!" You describe a similar experience that Amelia has, that what she means by going up the radio ladder, but still you have to be available at the right time and have a team. I think they teased me a bit, the day before the post, Josh had a blow up with the sports guy and the morning, the day of the post, they told Josh that he quit, unfortunately the media called the big boss; the day after the post, the producer said the same line about being caught between the management and personalities. With having no time, I am really not desirous of going into radio or TV, but I now consider consider it a worth while skill to have. Especially since I want to record, read and perform poetry. I do have to do more voice work though. LOL

    Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike
