Question of the Day - Friday, January 17, 2025

[Kris107]

First time QOTD question-asking! Sorry if any of my questions are repeats. Here goes...

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON THE RADIO OR TV? IF SO, WHAT WAS THE CONTEXT?

I thought of this one because I called into a local radio show the other morning to weigh in on a relationship conundrum. I think I called in one or two other times in the past. I was on TV once - a Food Network show. It was just a VERY short clip of me giving feedback on something I ate.

30 years ago I was briefly in a news segment.
It was for an indoor arcade/amusement park called Space Plex, and there was a party event going on. They caught me dancing for like a second lol.

 

[Gunther4ever]

Fairly frequently in the past with my work with various organizations like the County Fair and 4-H .

 

[Lari]

On the news in the background a few times.

Yes, in the early 70’s I was a guest on a PBS talk show regarding single parenthood and adoption. This was the point in time when single parenthood was becoming more accepted and the process for adoptive parents was changing. It was about an hour discussing the challenges of both, with myself and an adoptive parent couple as the guests.

 

[DeesCats]

Never.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I’ve called in to the radio for things a few times. I was told I was on the news when DH was coming home from a deployment but i barely registered that they were there. We declined an interview before he deployed once too.

 

[fionasmom]

Never. And I have opinions on just about everything.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Not me!

 

[IzzysfureverMom]

Yes I was interviewed a couple times regarding my artwork for upcoming exhibits.

In seventh grade, while at an intramural baseball game, a guy approached the coach and got approval to shanghai a couple of us for a short film on the nature walk in another part of the local park where the ball field was located. It was narrated, and they didn't use our real names, but I did see it on one of those local programs one Saturday afternoon. I think the whole segment ran maybe ten minutes or so. The main theme was the different clan totems of the Senecas on display along the trail.

Some fun stories!

Was on Sesame Street once, many years ago, a bunch of kids making a diorama together. Blink and you miss it.

 

[margecat]

I used to write and appear in a 5-10 minute slot on local cable TV. I worked in a library, and would choose a non-fiction book, such as a craft book, and make items from it and have the PR person interview me (I wrote the interviews). I did it for two years.

 

[SueLinda]

In high school, a local news did a story on our cheerleading squad.
I was on a local children's tv show when I was 8.
I was in the church orchestra for 20 years and the service was on tv each Sunday.

That's pretty cool. Sesame Street has always been pretty timeless and I grew up watching it in the late 80s.
I think I was in a few background shots of the (very small town) local news covering something sports related when I was in high school, but it wasn't exactly a ticket to Hollywood.

 

[sk8termom]

I modeled in a fashion show to support Goodwill Industries back in high school. It was televised on a Sunday morning

 

[neely]

I volunteered for a large non-profit organization and was a member of their speaker's bureau. One time it was televised when I was speaking on their behalf to a major corporation. It was just a snippet though.

 

[mani]

I was a radio DJ back in the 70s, so yes.

 

[Norachan]

Never. And I have opinions on just about everything.

Me too! I`m not shy at all and I`m very photogenic. I can`t understand why no TV show has asked me for an interview.
