For the Birds Radio Program: OLDIE: Testimonials about Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars
Earth Angel hears from two satisfied customers, “Lars,” whose Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars saved his life, and Juliet Montague, who settled an argument with her husband thanks to these amazing optics.
For one month, I launched an hour-long program, “Wake Robin,” with interviews, music, silly ads, and lots of fun stuff about birds. But I couldn’t get anyone at KUMD interested in helping with production. Tim Winker, “the VOICE of the North Woods” and one of KUMD’s most creative volunteers, helped me each week, running the board and making sure everything went okay, but without sponsors, I couldn’t pay anyone (much less myself), and it took about 60 hours each week for me to get the pre-recorded segments written and produced. So it didn’t last. This was one of the segments on that program. Tim Winker introduced the piece, Karen Keenan played Earth Angel, Russ Erickson played Lars, and Stephanie Hemphill played Juliet Montague.
Transcript
(TIM WINKER): This part of our program is brought to you by Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars. Their revolutionary micro disk technology will identify the birds you see in 12 seconds flat or your money back.
EARTH ANGEL: Every day my mailbox is packed with letters from satisfied customers at Earth Angel Bird Emporium. Like this one from Lars…
LARS: Dear Earth Angel, You saved my life. I was walking in downtown Miami when shots rang out. I jumped behind the nearest truck, which just happened to be an oil tank truck, where I could see two scruffy looking characters facing off. One was shouting, “It was a Rose-ringed Parakeet!” The other said, “No way! It was a Canary-winged Parakeet! Well thanks to my Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars, within 12 seconds I proved to them both that it was just an old Monk Parakeet. They put the guns down and we all went to a bar for a couple of shots. Thanks Earth Angel.
JULIET: Dear Earth Angel your Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars saved my husband’s life just hours after we were married. We’d had a small private ceremony and retreated to my house. We were lying in bed in what seemed like the middle of the night listening to a bird out the window. I was pretty sure it was a nightingale but he insisted it was a lark. The dear friar who married us had given us a pair of Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars for a wedding gift, and they settled the argument in 12 seconds flat. Romeo was right! It was a lark, which meant he had to hightail it out of there in a hurry or my parents would have killed him for sure. In a few days when the friar makes arrangements, we’ll be getting back together again and you can bet I’ll have my Earth Angel Bird Identification Binoculars with for our happy reunion. Thanks so much! Yours, Juliet Montague. (This is the first time I’m using my new married name!).
