KQED radio announced a few days ago that due to lack of funding, it was canceling its Perspectives commentaries. Next morning, Doug Edwards was checking the call in tape for listener reaction and came across this from a woman on her car phone: "MY name is Julia. Longtime listener. I’m very upset that you're canceling Perspectives and I' m considering canceling my support. Please reinstate…” followed by the sound of squealing brakes, a crash, shattering glass, and Julia yelling "Oh s…,you've made me so mad I just rear一ended the car in front of me. Have to go now.” Click. Poor Julia. Funds were restored,and Perspectives is back on the air.
KQED電臺在幾天前宣布,由于資金緊張,他們將刷掉一個叫做《觀察評論》的節(jié)目。第二天一大早,唐·愛得華茲從專門記錄聽眾反饋意見的電話錄音中聽到了一位婦女的留言:“我叫朱莉婭,一個老聽眾了,聽說你們要取消《觀察評論》這個欄目,我感到非常氣憤!我要考慮收回我的資助,除非你們能恢復(fù)……”緊接著是一聲急促的剎車聲,然后是撞擊聲和玻璃粉碎的聲音,并且伴隨著朱莉婭的尖叫聲:“天那,你們簡直快讓我發(fā)瘋了,剛才我和前面的一輛車追尾了,我掛電話了。”接著便是掛上電話后的滴答聲??蓱z的朱莉婭,其實資金已經(jīng)重新運轉(zhuǎn)了,《觀察評論》這檔節(jié)目也重新開播了。
