Do you ever get your name called out on the radio?

I had my name called out on spin for the "good news guys" part of the show. I was just after finishing my thesis that day so it was my good news. Got to talk on air too! YAYY!

Whats wrong with Irish radio?

I've texted quite a few times to Irish radio stations on traffic snarl-ups, i'm sure there are people out there saying Novena's for me right now.

A few times.

When Gareth O'Callaghan presented the afternoon show on 2FM about 7/8 years ago someone e-mailed a virus hoax into him, stating it as fact. I then e-mailed a comprehensive message to prove it was fake. He read it the next day and I got a call from a classmate in school saying "that was you, wasn't it?"

During the summer I also texted into Colm and Lucy one morning about 3D movies (I can't see them and was giving an explanation why). Seconds after sending it their researcher called me back, asking me to go on and talk to them but I was on a train so declined the offer.

My brother also texted Will Leahy about pet names, revealing my mother's pet name on air. I didn't hear it but she called me, assuming it was me that sent it.

My friend was also talking to Ryan Tubridy on his second show.

Well now I have to ask, what's your mothers pet name?

Does a V/O guy saying it count ?

Haha, she got a perm in the 80s and earned the nickname Worzel Gummidge. It stuck... the perm is long gone but she often gets called Worzel without even thinking!
