I should’ve been waking up round about now to haul myself over to a local N.E. Ohio NPR station to establish a transatlantic link with an esteemed panel on Radio 4′s Shop Talk. Unfortunately, the BBC producer couldn’t find an engineer willing to twiddle his knobs at 4.00 am for some half-baked sheet metal blogger.
I can’t believe I’m not worth time and a half.
But, I’ve still hauled my backside out of bed due to somebody not turning the TV off and my slumber being punctured by Heart Unplugged on PBS.
I’m just glad it wasn’t one of those instances where environmental surroundings permeate your sleep for a while and you find yourself dreaming about changing one of Heart’s broken g-strings.
Before I leave you with any further mental scars, I suggest we all tune in to see what Ms. Cronin-Lukas, Heather over at The Soap Blog and James Cherkoff (to name but three – there’s more) have to say.
It’s a half hour programme on between 16.00 and 16.30.
If you do listen and it happens to peak your interest, you can always sign up for the Our Social World conference about blogging your business in Cambridge on September 9th.
I’m back off to bed seeming Heart have finished caterwauling.
UPDATE: It’ll be aired next Tuesday.

I even went for a bloody meal somewhere a couple of days ago and Heart were assaulting my senses yet again.
Honestly, I’m doomed.
I certainly wouldn’t have been moaning at Buckley, Drake or Barrett.
Blogging gets me so irate that I just start yelling at myself.

How about Tim Buckley, Nick Drake, or Sid Barrett unplugged…or were they always unplugged?
Heart Unplugged, how I wish no one would plug them anymore, just let a sinking submersible sink. Andre Breton’s “Soluble Fish” sound rather bolty blue right about now.
Blogging is good for the nerves, and soothes even the most heinous among us. Heliocentricities abound here now, and the top of it all is that blogs are not what they first seemed.
Now blogs are the tip of the iceberg that is headed straight for the corporate Titanic.
We want corporations to blog so we can yell at them and make them look like idiots. At least, this is my cherished goal.

You’ve got to do better than that to keep me off the grapevine.
I even guessed that you’d be on it when the producer rang me up.
I didn’t mention that if you got on a roll they might have to turn it into a series.

Hey, I was going to keep it quiet until I knew whether I made a complete fool of myself or not!

That’s all I would’ve done – mumble something about The Tinbasher.
I go palpably daft when I have to do a podcast, let alone think about radio. Thank God there’s no chance of TV picking up on it.
Any ideas why the Shop Talk site is claiming that today’s programme is about disaster management?
