It's Friday... an eerily quiet day to slowly exhale. Actually, on Fridays we work on show ideas for the coming week and get everything in place for Monday. This Monday is a holiday, always a tricky time to book guests because often people would rather take a vacation than talk to millions of people on the radio. Go figure!
I will give you a quick run-down of what we have in store for next week, but first I want explain the many colors of our show board. Topics written in black are the 'for sure' topics... the topics that are booked and we are absolutely airing (pending any breaking news or pressing events that may trump it). Topics in green are the 'maybes'. Green is the color of hope... we hope to get a guest, we hope the topic holds for a few days. We write the guests who we've booked for a show in blue. Red indicates the time-frame that they will be on the show and where they'll be (in a studio, on a phone, etc.) We write show ideas in our morning meetings with purple ink. (This will all make more sense if you look at the photos of our board on the right side of the page.) Yes, we are a colorful bunch. Either that, or we have a particular affinity for Skittles. At any rate, I'll quickly tell you the topics that are in the black for next week.
On Monday in the first hour, we'll talk about all these games and tricks to improve your memory. Do any of them actually work? The second hour will deal with how to answer every question a kid asks--"What does 'sexy' mean?" "Can I cook my sister?" (a real question asked of a father)... that kind of thing. For Tuesday's first hour we'll talk with Ret. General Jack Keane, who's just back from Baghdad, and other guests about the policies and politics of Iraq. The second hour starts with a chat with British actor/comedian Michael Palin (think Monty Python, Spam, and inanimate parrots) and ends with the "cost" of wearing those saggy pants. On Wednesday we'll discuss Condoleezza Rice... one of the most powerful women in the country and yet, an enigma. And Thursday's hour two topic will be a discussion on life with obsessive compulsive disorder.
More to come next week. Enjoy your holiday!!
