My five minutes of BBC fame

Always good fun, my turn last night to do the BBC interview for Radio 5 live. It is possible to use the phone but sound reproduction is dull from a kind of echo down the line. The interviewer Chris prefers a live interview and I love the razzmatazz of going to the BBC studio's. As it's my stint only every couple of months and Chris is flexible about interview times it's well worth the effort of travelling there. It doesn't take long by tube and as the studio is almost opposite White City station there's no real walking in the dark on my own involved.

This week we decided to chat about a selection of fun posts. What a laugh. Chris is very skilled in throwing in a few choice words to join up all the sections. He had me in stitches. The show apparently is for all the night workers. Seems to have quite a good following. Bit taken back when my friend told me they listen to it at UPS's depot.

Listening to myself this morning via Podcast. Doesn't sound so bad and at less it comes across as amusing which was the main objective but my accent is a bit pronounced. Can't do much about it now at my age.

Will have to remember to save the podcast this time around. Least my grandson will find it amusing to hear Nana's voice coming out of the computer. Dosy mare I am at times I hadn't realised they only keep it for a week so I haven't got copies of any others.

Later: Wonders Matt Wardman has now created a 5 minute mini podcast extracting my voice here It's quite cool really and a much easier link. Just press on the audio arrows and you are off.
