Today was such a treat. Our Rotary hosts planned some wonderful vocational visits for us. My morning had me at an FM music station where I was interviewed for about 15 minutes. Music was played between the talk breaks so it wasn't all chat. But the time I was on was great fun! The DJ, George, asked about the Rotary GSE program, how I liked Rhodes (told him I LOVE this place!), and things Philly is famous for. He played some of my favorite songs, and after I made a reference to Lady Gaga, he called me Lady Leeeza. In his best radio voice, he said, with his lovely Greek accent, B101-Philadelphia. And in return, I announced the call letters of his station. Off the air, we talked about the differences and similarities between our stations. The photo shows us looking at the computer screen where he's seeing all the e-mails and text messages from listeners. He's promised me an mp3 of my big radio debut in Greece so I look forward to hearing it and reliving such a great experience.
It sounds like a fun vocational visit. It must have been interesting to see/hear how the Greek radio industry is similar/different to the US. Rhodes does look beautiful!

Hi lisa, Oh I told you that you would love Rhodes. We just had a short visit there but had the good fortune to hire a local cab driver to show us around. He knew all the best viewing areas and took us to a hilltop showing the beautiful ocean and villas. It was spectacular. This is where I had my photo taken with the Greek Soccer team.(which is like royalty there).
ReplyDeleteWas the radio show in Greek? How did you manage the language difference? Whst a thrill for you to experience this
Hope you and the group are still enjoying the moment and savor it all in. When do you go to Santorini? Where next?
