The Kevin Upton Show

The Kevin Upton show is a half hour magazine radio broadcast designed to discuss serious issues in a Christian context but also ight hearted way. We were broadcasting on a local radio station that specializes in working with ethnic minorities that has about 10 listeners, 3 of whom understand English. Nevertheless, we decided that to get the best quality of broadcast we would pre-record the shows but put them out as if they were live. All I had to do was go into the station put in the CD and press play.
Tragically that is where the plan unraveled. It like was like the elastic waistband of an old pair of underpants loosing themselves from the slavery of their occupant. I was left proverbially naked as the CD failed to load. The deadening silence screamed at me as I gasped to find words of intelligence and value. Even saying my own name seemed to escaped my oratory skills as I found er and um my most favorite of words.
Having ironically found Kylie’s lucky song on the computer screen and managed to press play, I lean back and wipe my brow with the knowledge I have 3 minutes and 44 seconds to work out what the heck I’m going to do next. The answer came to me from one of my staff who also works part time with the radio station. She causally laughs her way in to the studio grabs the offending disc and disappears to burn a new one with the urgency of a Hawaiian surfer contemplating his next wave. Such a nonchalant attitude is obviously more frustrating to me than to everyone else at the station. They all appear completely unfazed by the chaos and vocally confidant of my ability to fill the time with useless and uninformative information while playing completely rubbish music. It is a confidence that concerns me; after all do they think that I speak rubbish all the time?
