Weird call.
Heard Sarah King and Kim Blair this morning. No
Dwayne Jeffries. Nothing was mentioned in the
half hour (roughly) between 6.30 and 7am as to
why Kim was on (and sounding excellent btw).
Curious, I rang reception after 9am and asked
"where was Dwayne". She didn't know so placed
me on hold. After about a minute she comes
back and says "I don't know and they won't tell
me".
Sorry? An' again.
"They said you should have been listening to the
radio this morning and you would have heard".
Well I was, and no I didn't. Is that the way to treat
a listener?
Was he crook, gone on leave (though Tuesday
is an odd day to begin hols), been promoted
within the group or, given what's about to happen
in the market soon, has DMG had a chat with him
and suddenly he is persona non-grata on HP Drive?
If he was ill, why wouldn't "they" tell the receptionist?
With disreguard for listener enquiries like that, if I
was 2GO, I'd be worried about DMG coming in too.
Oh yes, 2GO should worry about an impending competitor, but Kim, sounding
good? very country, but then I guess GO is a country station isn't it?

If country means natural, so be it.
Country = natural, oh, don't know about that, perhaps the word I should have
used was inexperienced.

I don't know him, his history nor until yesterday had I
ever heard him before. For a first time listen, he
sounded natural, and comfortable, in that role. Short
lived as Jeffries was there today. As for inexperienced,
how long is a piece of string?

"Short lived as Jeffries was there today"
What does this mean? Was Jeffries there or not?
