Ironic but true
I’ve just been on national radio in the UK. And I’ve just been listening to the broadcast through my super-shiny (and super-loud) headphones, so I could sort of hear myself, my co-author and the interviewer. I missed the nice bit at the end where the interviewer signed off by saying something very complimentary (and very quotable) about our new book, but my partner told me about it and made me feel very bouncy. So - it was cool, it was a lot of fun to do (radio studios are brilliant places to hear because they have no background noise and very clear acoustics, and you look straight at the mouth of the person interviewing you), but I couldn’t help seeing the ever-so slight irony of a deafie being on the radio

My mom was a radio talk show host for years–I always thought it was ironic, since she had a deaf daughter (me)
The radio is a funny thing. I don’t quite believe that it works. Like phones, I can’t talk into a phone without laughing, because I don’t believe that it works. It’s like an orange. Why would I talk into an orange?

That last question is going to be bothering me all day
Why WOULD you talk into an orange? There has to be an answer to this

Perhaps because you found it a-peel-ing …
or because you wanted a “slice” of the action …
or you have a “zest” for life …
or you had a juicy story to share …

I know – I feel shame – but I also keep visualizing you talking to an orange…

well sara, you wouldnt be alone if you did talk to an orange!
Daniel Radclif had to talk to an orange on a stick while acting in the second harry potter movie, ‘the chamber of secrets’
the orange on a stick was a replacement for the house elf, Dobbie, as he had to be included later with blue screen!!
now a bit of trivia for you!!
