First challenge done, radio interview completed! If you have 15 mins of your life you feel like chucking away, you can listen to the audio clip below. Live radio certainly brings out the verbally incontinent side of me and I sound like a proper hooray henry! Apologies to Mr Soonawalla (my Liver Surgeon) for any suggestions he sliced me open like a melon and thanks to the nice people at Radio Cherwell, Jill from Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals fundraising team and any poor inpatients who didn’t try to electrocute themselves during the broadcast.

You never know how strong you are until not being strong is no longer an option!

lovely to hear your voice, posh bird! You sound a bit like Vanessa Feltz (don’t worry, that’s where the resemblance ends!)
pa is your performance on the Friday or Saturday cos Friday is the 16th, not 17th as you mentioned – need to arrange a day off work and a charabanc lol! xx
Oops you can tell I prepared! It’s Friday 16th. I think they mucked around with my voice…my kids didn’t recognise me! Vanessa feltz dear dear. Mind you I could do with her brain! Xx
I didn’t recognise it, you sound so professional:) xx
am listening to it now Rachel, you sound great on radio, Radio BananaGiraffes next then! also you have to ensure that the Piano challenge is on video so we can all watch!
I am going to plug in and drift off the sleep listening to your dulcet tones my dear!
In the meantime my thoughts for today:
1. I heard 2 more inspiring cancer stories yesterday – one friend who had very aggressive breast cancer and is now clear but on HRT, and her brother in law who had lymphona hodkingson (?? bad spelling) and was told he would probably die (as they break it to you nice and gently in the way they do!) and was told he probably wouldn’t live but if he did then he would definately be sterile – 4 kids later!
2.From one marketing pro(f) to another ‘pourable sunshine’ has got to be the greatest marketing strapline in the whole world…how has that gone viral?!! –
And your challenge today – a light one, given impending hospital visit – who did the strapline above and why does it work so well???
Love you radio girl…..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CALLING ALL JENNY MURRAY AGENTS AND ALL BROADCASTING COMPANIES WHO NEED POURABLE SUNSHINE FROM THEIR PRESENTERS….
GET RACHEL BOWN ON YOUR SHOW. PAY HER A FORTUNE, SEND A LIMO TO PICK HER UP, DON’T WORK HER TOO HARD, TREAT HER NICELY….SHE IS THE NEXT BIG THING IN RADIO/TV…..AND IF THE OUTFIT CONSUMES YOU WITH CONFUSION, JUST STICK HER ON THE RADIO.
hear hear!
You’re all nuts! And Pourable sunshine was the slogan for Heinz Salad cream, although I notice the blogosphere think it would have been more accurate to call it squeezy stink lard!
Lovely to hear your voice! Good luck with your piano challenge! xxxxx
