This radio promotion is so complicated, there is only one way to tell the story in its entirety. None of the original sound exists so now I tell this story in a 57 minute mini audio book style so that all of the twists and turns can be described in detail. It is chronicled in this podcast to be saved for all of history.

All of us in the radio industry have had great "on air" promotions from time to time, but never before or since have I heard of a more protracted morning show escapade in the name of ratings.

Please take time to listen to my mini audio book story of the great abominable snowman hunt on Mount Everest in Katmandu, Nepal.

This podcast episode is Talking About Radio with, yours truly, John Leslie…with guest host Elizabeth Grattan.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Elizabeth on a previous episode about her career in the industry and we decided it might be interesting to flip the script and the result is an entertaining and insightful look into my very own journey.

Elizabeth is known all across the country for her outstanding imaging, voice tracking and voice-over work. Now, she has shown herself to be an accomplished interviewer.

Elizabeth stepped into my role and executed it flawlessly. She is witty, charming, intellectual, probing and able to pull emotions to the forefront as she interviews her guests. I know, because it happened to me!

Please be sure to listen to this ever entertaining episode of Talking About Radio With Elizabeth Grattan. It really was fun.
