One night, I had a dream. No seriously. Okay, I dream a lot,
and mostly weird stuff, but this particular night, I had a really vivid dream.
It was so real that when I woke up, it felt like the whole thing had really
happened. Do you ever get this?
Anyway, this dream was about a radio show. It probably
stemmed from having been involved in The Midweek Drive Show over on Siren
107.3FM quite regularly over the past eighteen months, plus a host of other
radio appearances. I’m a bit of a microphone addict, you see.
So this dream was about a radio show. My radio show. I’d called it BOOKS ROCK, and I was interviewing a
variety of authors and readers, and
playing my favourite tunes in between. Seriously, I saw the whole thing, right
down to the printed schedule in my hand and the microphone in Studio 1C in my
face. Weird, or what?
I scrambled out of bed and shot an email to the producer at
Siren FM before I could think twice about it. I outlined the whole idea
(omitting the dream bit, obviously) and hit ‘send.’ And then I prayed. Less
than three hours later, I received an email back: It’s a go. Let’s talk.
And thus it came to be that I ended up with my very own
radio show called… BOOKS ROCK! It airs once a month for one hour on a Saturday
morning at 11 am UK time, with a repeat airing later the following week and a
podcast available afterwards. Woohoo!
In my first show on 21 June, I was honoured to have authors
Jill Mansell and Talli Roland, and fabulous bloggers JB Johnston and Kim Nash.
Plus, at the station manager’s suggestion, I also introduced a ‘reality radio’
segment whereby I’m charting, every month, the process of one aspiring Lincoln
writer by the name of Karina Jackson. I was terrified before the show went
live, but I think it went okay! And you can check it out for yourself here…
Now give it up for the AWESOME JB Johnston who is a standing
contributor and will undertake this journey with me month after month. And
don’t forget to tune in on 19 July for the next instalment! http://www.sirenonline.co.uk/section/shows/books-rock
