One of the worst spots on daytime radio is the 12.00-15.00 spot. People at work are eating lunch, mothers at home are fetching their children, and then giving them lunch etc. So it is not the best of times to broadcast - so I thought!
The original RAM FM line up had me between 9-12 in the morning, and Hayat Alami between 12.00-15.00. RAM FM's Station Manager, Maysoun Gangat had an idea of pairing a Palestinian (Hayat) and an Israeli (myself) together on one show and talking about everything under the sun - EXCEPT politics!
A show that was a normal magazine show, just presented by an Israeli and a Palestinian, without any who-ha around it. It worked, and well - very well. On September 1st 2007, the first show hit the airwaves. Hayat and myself got on very well together, and the show was a success. At first we had the Lunchbreak - 45 minutes of songs from a certain year. The Lunchbreak was to go on to be competition, but more about that in my next entry.
From 1pm-3pm we had a different theme each day. We would talk about health, hobbies, travel,
numerology, dreams and plenty more.
For reasons I won't go into here, Hayat and I only broadcast a month or so together, and Hayat went to Ramallah to be a producer.
After Hayat, there came Arda, and the Afternoon Show became The Afternoon show with Mike and Arda - coming up next ......
