Here’s technology in action. I just heard my name mentioned on J-Net radio. The Livingston’s World presenter had asked causally if I wanted her to play a request. I said, sure, let’s have Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin. It reminded me of when I fell for a young dancer in Paris as a kid in the 70s.
An hour later, after humming along to pop royalty, Life on Mars came on and the studio discussion turned to David Bowie. No-one seemed to recall his son’s name. Zac? Zebedee? Dunno; sod’s law we’ll all remember after the show.
I sent a text to presenter Sharron Livingston (above) saying: you’ll kick yourself. It’s Zowie! How do I remember that. Pure coincidence, I confided. His dad shared a brief “moment” with the very girl I fell for in Paris. “He was a rising star,” I lamented. “I was just falling…”
Sorted, I thought. At least it’ll give her a chuckle on the way home.
. . . except that I heard her mobile beep on air moments after I sent it. "Ah, I've got a text," she said.
How many listeners do they have?

Well, I can be sure of least 1 listener!
Incidentally, I often get listeners texting me or interacting through facebook. Next month we will start taking calls.
So feel free to do it again.
