UNAIRED AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION (ABC) RADIO INTERVIEW.
In
September 2020, a producer/announcer at ABC Great Southern - 6WA in
Wagin, Western Australia contacted and requested to interview me. I had
previously logged their station in March of that year, so he thought 6WA
listeners might be interested to learn the station was being heard as
far away as Malaysia, not just in Western Australia. At first, I was
reluctant to do the interview, but at his insistence I instead proposed
writing and recording a Q&A monologue. This is the recording.
As
the host of an early morning programme on 6WA he agreed to edit the
recording, adding in his questions, comments, effects, etc. Days, weeks
and months passed without the promised final edit.
A
few months after submitting the recording I learned he had been
transferred to another ABC station. What he did with the recording
remains a mystery. I suspect it was never edited, and therefore it never
aired. Perhaps the content of my monologue was too awkward or
inappropriate for his audience, so he scrapped the idea.
In any case, here is the recording I made and submitted. Give it a listen. 73.
