Radio Forth

Post by Bob Jefferson » 02 Dec 2005, 18:08

A few weeks ago I was asked to do an interview with Radio Forth for Forth Action. They had picked up on the fact that Portobello Online had been nominated for the Community Website of the Year Award.

I duly turned up, thinking it would be pretty straightforward, got into the recording studio and then realised I was incredibly nervous and quite incapable of speaking coherently.

If you would like to witness my failings as an interviewee, I understand that it is to be broadcast on Monday 5th December.
Forth Action broadcasts twice a day on 97.3 Forth One (11.25hrs and 15.25hrs approx) and three times a day on 1548 FORTH2 (10.20hrs, 13.20hrs and 16.20hrs approx)

Hey Bob

Well done, you were very good, and coherent.

In which case I owe it all to the editing suite at Radio Forth. I forgot about it actually, so thanks for the reminder and I'll try to catch the next slot.

Well, I'm deeply disappointed to have listened out fir the 1,20 Action thingy on Forth 2 only to not hear Mr J or any mention of RFP. :roll:

I caught it again a few minutes ago on Forth 2, although my computer started buffering just at the wrong time. Forth Action have promised to send me a copy on CD but I need to check with them re copyright before I can stick it on the site. I sound much better with a bit of bass.

Didn't come across as at all nervous in those clips, Bob. You sounded very natural and relaxed.

Well done.
