Pop Shield

Chiselled rock god Martin Larsen from 80’s pop sensations Yoo-Hoo! came in for a session on Little Sister Radio today.

On arrival, I meet Martin and his vast entourage at reception. The lion’s share of the party ride up in the big lift, and three more members jump in the small one, others opt for the stairs. Before I can realise what is happening, I am standing there alone with Martin waiting to take another ride. Oh, pants. Lift small talk. My favourite.

Fortunately, Martin is carrying a magazine. This may be a way in!

“Oh, New Scientist!” I squeak, sounding like a little boy mid-puberty. “That’s a clever magazine to be reading. My dad’s favourite too, in fact!”

“Oh, it’s not so clever, really” Martin mumbles nonchalantly.

I back-pedal furiously to keep the conversation away from its inevitable impending demise.

“Hmm, I suppose not. He does read it on the toilet after all.”

Nothing.

Eek!!
