Sounds Like Radio Episode 17


Characters from Sounds Like Radio daily serial watching as two kids play.

Daisy Grahame called the following day. Her production company was already putting out feelers for another show.

Gerry was thrilled to take the call.

“We can fit that in,” she told Daisy, her fingers crossed that the schedule would allow.

“Let me chat to Cesca and firm up. I’ll get back to you.”

“Great, thanks, Gerry,” Daisy said. “Send an invoice whenever, by the way.”

“Daisy, before you go . . .”

“Yeah?”

“Do you keep in contact with contributors?”

“As in callers to phone-ins? Not unless they’re amazing and we grab them for a feature or something.”

“OK. Thanks. Well, I’ll call you back about the next –”

“But we do have to keep their details for a bit, for production reasons,” Daisy interrupted.

“After that confidentiality legislation kicks in and they’re deleted. Why?”

“Just a thought,” Gerry said. “I’m sure an old . . . an ex-colleague was among the callers.”

“And you’d love to meet up with her, or him! Wow, that’s so cool! I wonder if we can make a thing of it, like those long-lost relatives shows –”

“No, this isn’t like that,” Gerry said quickly. “I was only mildly interested –”

“I can e-mail the person. I obviously can’t give you their details but I can give them yours.”

Gerry hesitated.

“As I said, it was a whim.”

“It’s easily done. Who was this?”

“Bronwen King.”

“Leave it with me.”

Gerry felt suddenly doubtful.

Why would Bronwen King want to have anything to do with a ghost from her past?

Why did she even feel an urge to know anything more about Bronwen?
