+Simply Paul Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Following on from Nobby's plea some time last month for someone to speak on BBC Three Counties radio, my name reluctantly got pushed to the front of the pack. It's due to be broadcast live on Thursday (tomorrow) the 11th of October around 10.30am-ish. I don't know if there's a listen-again feature, but here's the Three Counties web site. I hope I make friends with the presenter better than I got on with Radio Oxford's Anne Diamond a couple of years ago. Fat cow Quote Link to comment

nobby.nobbs Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Cheers Paul. Fingers crossed that all goes well tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I don't know if there's a listen-again feature, I wouldn't count on BBC's listen again service, 2 mths ago they had major issues which are still not fully sorted out - local radios links a low down the pecking order, just tried 'The Nine O'Clock Show... ' listen again link and it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've got it set to record on my Mac and can export via MP3 if no-one else is already doing it. If anyone has the technology to record this, perhaps as an MP3..? Quote Link to comment

Excellent - I'd like to hear it but unfortunately the office I work in is like a huge Faraday cage - I think it might have been designed that way Quote Link to comment

+studlyone Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Good job SP. You sound like a natural on air. Quote Link to comment
+Jonovich Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Good job SP. You sound like a natural on air. Yup agreed, you sounded more professional than the interviewer J Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well done Paul. Battled against all the odds to make sense. Not sure the presenter had a clue but seemed to be catching on by the end. Who was the third person offering to take the photo? What was the reference to N. Campbell, I must have missed that. Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Oh hey, you sounded great Paul! I just listened to the recording on the Bolas Heathens site (thanks for making that available chaps!). My mum just rang me to say that "someone was on 3 counties radio talking about that geocaching thing you do", and she said you were really good at explaining what it all was as well Quote Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks for the MP3 The Bolas Heathens - and well done Paul - you kept your cool in the face a lack of understanding. And I'm very impressed you'd changed your name by deed-poll by the end of the piece - very enterprising! And btw - I'm with kbooth about the presenter - probably not briefed before the broadcast.

nobby.nobbs Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Great interview, there's a word for people like that presenter!! Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 He was friendly enough, but clearly hadn't been briefed at all. Did anyone else phone, text or email in after I left? Seemed a bit too short and sweet, but hopefully getting the geocaching.com name over clearly will be enough to get people who are interesting to more info. Thanks to The Bolas Heathens for the MP3, and it was my mistake about Nicky Campbell - I was thinking of Andy Kershaw. Sorry Nicky! I'll upload the photo I took of Ronnie somewhere, and post it here later. Glad everyone seemed to enjoy it anyway Quote Link to comment
+SidAndBob Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wow! He made Anne Diamond sound really professional. Loved the way he hijacked the interview to talk about his Treasure Hunt thing. Good job though Paul. Thanks for the MP3 too BH's. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 If you care what Ronnie looks like when he's chatting away: Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yup agreed, you sounded more professional than the interviewer Yeah.. I had trouble understanding this guy! Is he a norverner or summit? Quote Link to comment
+dino-irl Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think that was a terrible interview.....radio is a hard enough medium to discuss geocaching in without having to deal with an idiot like that. Well done SP on not clocking the guy and leaving half way through! Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh he wasn't that bad! I was happy I got the basics across. He did talk a lot for an interviewer though, and didn't ask a lot of on-topic questions. He was clearly thinking car GPS, although I'd shown him my etrex, and made the point it was handheld...
