What's it all about?

I've been a journalist for almost 20 years, and in that time I've jumped out of planes, interviewed Prime Ministers and visited warzones, all of which is a piece of cake in comparison to being a new dad. This is me, desperately trying to juggle my role as local newspaper editor with my impending responsibilities as a new father, and determined not to fail at either. D-day is May 23, and after that, nothing will be the same again...

"HELLOOOOO ST ALBANS!"

"What could possibly go wrong?" asks Drivetime radio disc jockey Danny Smith. Famous last words.
Fortunately there's a 17 second delay, so if the proverbial does hit the fan then hopefully all will not be lost, especially if Danny keeps making jokes as crude as the ones he's been treating us to for his "warm-up"... It's all very professional - they have people doing the weather and everything.
Unfortunately, unlike when we usually have Radio Verulam playing in the office, we have to listen to all the "worthy" public service announcements, rather than just laughing at what Danny's saying and tweeting him with song requests.
Quite sure what impression listeners will get from our afternoon in the spotlight is hard to determine. Lots of cheering, tapping on keyboards and random comments - a pretty average day at the Herts Ad really...
More updates as things progress.
