That Handheld Feeling

Part of the joy of presenting a radio show on a low-power station must surely be the fun unexpected challenges.

One week I arrived and found only one CD player working. On another, the headphones had vanished. Another week there was no chair.

Tonight, for the first time, I presented an entire show handheld.

(to broadcast in stereo, that actually required holding two microphones, in addition to standing without headphones and talking whilst reloading the only CD player between each track)

How I pity the bigger stations, still limping along under the otiose crutch of automation.

TOMORROW:

Goble becomes a stand-up comic. "What is the deal with microphone stands...?"
