Straight To The Pantheon: Transmission 107, 2014 March 16

It was a Sunday afternoon, and I was on the radio. Why? I don't even remember. The likely goal was to "occupy" the station during a stretch of airtime that no live host wanted to claim, & spare our poor listeners from 90 minutes of pre-recorded public affairs programming some some distant place. So effectively I might have been destroying the village in order to save it.

I might also have just said "screw it, I've EARNED this airtime," having endured some bit of nonsense or other that should never be visited upon a volunteer. I swear, the amount of crap one takes is directly proportional to the amount of free stuff that one does for other people, when it should be the inverse. A house elf I am not.

Whatever the reason, there I was, and magic was happening. This program does have a few of those moments, when one thinks, "this is not what I was hearing five minutes ago, but how did we get here?" THAT'S THE DREAM. Anger and duress, I am telling you.
