How rude was this from the radio?

Question

i called this thing they have thats called "dateless in dallas" and when they said to call i called rightaway so they picked up and said call back tommorrow man (giggling) at first they hung up...maybe they really werent taking any calls.....but in the station they keep asking for calls..? so how is it that there not taking anymore hmm but yeah i dont think i sounded wierd....maybe i did....i tend to mumble but i been told i sound like a hot white guy lol so yeah maybe i just sounded wierd sometimes i tend to mumble

Answer 1

I learned long ago to never air calls from mumblers, drunks or angry people. Also teens- most just say "I want to be on the radio". If there's no good reason to air a call, I don't. It has to be witty, original and flow with my show.

Answer 2

hmmmm maybe you were listening to a rerun show? Could that be it? I work at a radio station, and I have phone screening experiance so from a screeners perspective, if you mumble that could be why they didn't want to talk to you. You probably sounded nervous. I notice a lot of people when they call in you can hear it in their voice and that doesn't make for good radio. A screener is supposed to weed out potential bad calls and if someone sounds like they don;t know what their talking about, or you can;t understand them, or they can't figure out what their trying to say then us screeners will tell them goodbye.  :)
