Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us!

By Dave Lee STD

As student journalist Katie was preparing to do a weather report live to the studio, a few technical difficulties threw her concentration out the window. She needed Andrew. Andrew being the station controller and the man that would probably be able to solve her problems.

Unfortunately for Katie, her pleas for help weren’t heard by Andrew. Which is surprising, as they were heard by all the listeners of the station. Yes, poor Katie’s horror-story was broadcast on air.

Being a good sport, Katie has allowed me to share the clip with you all on one simple condition: If any of you are in the position to employ her, then you must erase this moment from your memory and focus on her other less gaffe-filled journalism portfolio instead. Take a listen here.
