Radio Boadicea  

AAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!  I hate when I do that.

I haven't done radio in a long time. And it's showing.  "Um" and "Uh" are bad, sloppy habits and I need your help to break me of them.

So, I'm running a contest.  Download the archived segment. Count the times I use "um" or "uh" during the show, and record your count below.

First commenter to get the number correct will  be able to direct a contribution to their favorite non-political charity (because of election finance laws, it absolutely cannot be a political outfit) of fifty cents (or should that be "fitty cent"?) per "um".*

Look for other contests later, as I'm going to have both other bad habits to break, and will be looking for some royalty free bumper music to use for the show.

If you have a suggestion for other contests or prizes-perhaps a guest post opportunity on B-blog, or some other creative (and cheap) way to reward detail oriented  listeners, chime in with those as well.

Thanks for your help. Want to be sure I'm ready when Air America or Jones Radio comes calling.

Ow.  I think I just pulled a snark muscle...

*limited to a total of $25 per contribution.
