Business Casual

As many of you know, we’ve been doing daily morning business news updates on KFDI for a few months.

I’m not a stranger to radio, or to public speaking, but I have to confess that I’ve found the experience rather vexing at times – only when veteran KFDI newsman George Lawson is on the other end of the telephone recording the report.

I consistently screw up the report when George is on the other end of the phone and have to re-record parts of it. No real specifics here, for obvious reasons, but the gaffes range from a rather bizarre characterization of a local aviation company – one of those “What did I just say?” moments – to one spot in the broadcast when I inexplicably began babbling incoherently. Thank God it’s not live radio … and that Freud is dead. I’d hate to learn what it all means.

Nothing against George; he’s a great colleague and a nice guy to work with. Don’t really think he makes me nervous.

But I hear he and the station collect taped gaffes. George, quote me a price for mine.

Now.
