Neon Nights Bananarama Special Podcast

Dear Poptastic Readers,

On Friday, I (Davearama) took part in a radio show called Neon Nights in Melbourne, Australia! The show is hosted by John von Ahlen of Parralox (Click there to read the interview i did with him)! This episode of the show was a Bananarama Special, which is why I was on the show.

As soon as John told me about the show, I jokingly said "Can I call in? Or do you need a co-host? Haha!" John asked for my phone number and he said he would call me. Well, I did the time conversion and it would be Friday night at midnight for me. I definitely would stay up for Bananarama. I would most definitely stay up for a call from John of Parralox!

As midnight approached, I was the only one in my house still awake. I was so excited when John called. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Or even what I would say. As soon as I was put on hold, I got a message "Can you stay on for the full hour?" Um, yes I can! I was thrilled.

The show was co-hosted with Costa Lakoumentas. I didn't know him but we immediately connected, and I was able to get most of his Bananarama trivia. Now we are best buds! Still waiting to hear about our own FB3 v2.0! haha

As the show was happening live, I was getting messages from Bananarama fans all over the world that they were listening: Craig in Portland, Oregon; Gary in the Gold Coast, Australia; Loco in Adelaide, Australia; Pascal in Paris, France; Norm in London, England; and Travis in Bloomington, Illinois. Thank you!

I had such a fun time doing the show. I just listened to the podcast and I was surprised how many times I said "um." Whoops! Oh well, it was midnight for me. I was exhausted after a busy week and I was going on adrenaline for being on the show.

A BIG thank you to John for having me on the show. It was real honor. And thank you Costa for making me feel so welcome.
