So, what do you think of the Diary audios?
I have to say that I'm enjoying doing them, they bring me back to my radio days in the 1980s and 1990s. It's a medium I always said I'd get back to, but never did much, apart from occasional contributions on KFM over recent years.
Many of you have also been listening to the latest short programmes I introduced from this week, the On This Day series which I plan to do each weekday if they remain popular.
Today's one is about the invention of Coca-Cola. Others are on the sinking of the Lusitania, the opening of the Channel Tunnel, and the first American in space, Alan Shepard.
Unlike the rest of the Diary, or the other audio programmes, these aren't Kilcullen-centric. But I hope you're finding them appealing.
These help to get me up early in the morning, though not as early as I had to do when I started my broadcasting career with It Says in The Papers on RTE back in the very early 1980s.
When I began that, it meant leaving Kilcullen at 4am to be in RTE and go through the newspapers, having a script ready for live broadcast by 8am. I did get a lot faster before I finished.
If anyone has any comments, critiques or suggestions, they'd all be appreciated.
