Latest Ezine.


The latest edition of the BmacMedia Ezine deals with one particular Talk Break from an actual aircheck session. Sometimes running through a link in great detail can unearth secrets!


Here's a sample:


“...'The time now is fast approaching twenty two and a half minutes past four'.
Now, that’s an exact time check. Not only are we told the time right down to the half-minute (which we really need mid-afternoon), but the fact of the matter is that it’s ‘fast approaching’ that time. So that means, it’s not quite twenty-two and a half minutes past. Maybe it’s twenty two minutes and twenty three seconds past. I can wait until it hits exactly the half-minute mark. Also, doesn’t time travel at the same speed no matter what?
Can you tell me when it’s 28 and a quarter minutes past?? If you were in a conversation with a friend, would you drop an exact time check into the conversation for no apparent reason? “That’s a lovely new car you bought John, I’d love one like that, it’s 27 and a half minutes past 5 o’clock, where did you get it”?! See how cumbersome that sounds. Plus, your listeners have watches and clocks. They can tell the time themselves..."
