I was once. I was listening to some radio station and they were having this "Call in to guess what the Top Ten Most Thrilling Movie Moments Were" thing and no one was saying the shower scene from Psycho, which was BLATANTLY on the list, so I called in and said it. AND I WAS RIGHT, IT WAS ON THE LIST.

Anyways how about you guys?

Yeah, last year I called into a breakfast show and had to answer questions to win £1000. I beat the woman I was against and won, I then had to call in again and compete that Friday to win a trip to Vegas, but I came second.

I recently wrote in an amusing email to that show again, going on about how losing that competition traumatised me and got my email read out on air.

It was a very popular national breakfast show too!

ALMOST !

I requested a song with my friends, but it never went to air and they never played the song that was requested. Guess because we were " silly teenagers " and didn't take us seriously. So rude.

A few times on local college stations in my area just to chat about stuff, but never on bigger stations.

Na, not quite that big. It was the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, on Absolute.

I have! I was interviewed on North Manchester Radio before my Open Mic UK final at the O2 Arena in London. They played one of my original tracks and then I spoke to them for about 10 minutes about my music, influences etc.

I was also mention on XFM when they were doing puns about combining footballers with pop songs. My suggestion of Carlton Palmer Palmer Palmer Palmer Palmer Chameleon was read out :lol:

Never have. Ugh can you imagine? Stuttering and blabbering it'd be a trainwreck.

Uh, from what I heard of your recordings, it's not nearly as noticeable as you think. Seriously, there are actual radio personalities and youtubers who have actual speech impediments that make it hard to focus on the content. You'd be fine, bud.

Oh yeah, I was also interviewed on local radio once about volunteering, back when I was the face of volunteering in The Vale of Glamorgan.

Once, ahahahah!

I was a Christian station.

I called in about a Bible quote.

I won a free Bible.

Do you remember the quote?
