Radio Indigo Mornings

Off late my daily dose of morning music is administered by Radio Indigo 91.9. Its the sole English-only FM channel in Bangalore. The morning show is anchored by a jock called Kenny Jones. Sriram is the co-anchor. Kenny's an american and has got a good voice. There's a segment called 7:50 AM shout-out where people can call in and send their message to anyone.

Today morning, some girl called and this is an excerpt from the banter -

KJ - Hi welcome to the 7:50 shout-out. How are you today?
Girl - Just waking up hearing your lovely voice. Still lying on my bed.
Me thinks - Seemed like she was turned-on...;-)
KJ - Ohh. So my voice is your wake-up call? It'd be better if I came over and lightly nudged you to wake up every mornings.
Me thinks - Ah-ha...some flirting happening on-air..eh?
Sriram - That is just creepy.
KJ - So who do you want to shout out to.
Girl - To my dad who is out of town. I'm missing him.
KJ - Where's he at?
Girl - Belgaum.
KJ - Thats north of Karnataka.
Girl - Ohh you know where it is.
Me thinks - why does the girl think people don't know where Belgaum is
Sriram - Of course.
KJ - Okay, we'll shout out to your dad. Is there anything else I can do for you.
Girl - No thats it just love listening to your voice every morning. Thanks for calling.
Me thinks - Oo...She's made a fool of herself.
KJ - Well, its not we but you called us. (laughing)
Sriram - Yeah.
Me thinks - whoa, she's just totally lost it. She was sleepy, turned-on and didn't realize what she was saying.
Girl - Blushing and stammering.
KJ - I guess you're too sleepy, better get back to bed. (laughing) Thanks for calling. Love ya.
Me thinks - hahahahahaha. That was hilarious.


Un-freaking-belivable.

  1. Interesting.

    If you can get hold of the film Talk To Me, do see it. It's a real life story of an ex-con named Ralph "Petey" Greene who became an unlikely but popular talk show host on Radio, between songs that is. The character is brilliantly essayed by Don Cheadle.

    No, don't read up on it until you see the film :-)
