Celebrity radar: How do we get their attention?

Have you ever decided to contact a talk show, a journalist, or someone in the public eye? Have you then wondered if he or she had received your missive, be it through the telephone or e-mail or snail? I have done this. Some have received and sent token responses. Others, nothing.

I got to thinking about this when I read last weekend Climbing Higher, RC 57988, by talk-show host, Montel Williams. I found it interesting that he had not majored in journalism and done the reporter bit as have some of the others like Walters and Oprah. He is a graduate of The Naval Academy and went on speaking tours to at-risk minority youth and his show grew out of this activity. One never knows where something will lead. My blog might lead to something wonderful, grin.

The audio segments on today's blog are not very good. I can hear my critics fuming that I should get a microphone and record directly to computer. Well, my new system comes tomorrow and so maybe I can learn this.

Anyway, the first audio clip is from today's Montel Show and deals with college and how some young people wil do anything to be popular, and the second clip is from the Climbing Higher book and showcases two questions, the first about evening primrose oil and the next question about the removal of mercury fillings from teeth.
