Interviewing After Dark

[spectral_fm]

The adverts were still playing. Beth using the time to out her guest at ease and test sound levels. A microphone was situated in front of their respective seats, but both had to wear a set of headphones - especially if there were callers later.

And as soon as her guest was ready?

"Bump In The Night... With Beth Watkins!"

A music began to fade down with a wolf's howl and the brunette began speaking before silence was properly reached. A gradual style of segue always sounded better.

"Tonight, we've got more of a local flavour for the show. She writes a blog, 'Dorchester After Dark' - which we've got linked up on the site, for anyone who's eager to take a bite. But y'know what? We've got Major Jules Bishop, herself, in the studio, sooo... Major? For any listeners out there who aren't familiar, how about you tell us about 'After Dark' and how it all came about?"

"Retired, actually."

And she was going to have to remember to stop using the title, at least if she didn't make it clear that she was no longer on active duty. Her military background was what had gotten her into this new thing, but without the uniform, she felt like one of those old guys in the park who talked about their long-gone glory days as if they'd just happened. Jules sat up straighter in the chair.

"Thanks for inviting me, Beth," she added. "I've listened to your show off and on since I got home, and I'm glad to get the chance to 'meet' your listeners, so to speak." The blonde cleared her throat, shook off the residual nerves she was feeling.

"I mainly started the blog because I believe more people have had encounters with the beyond than you'd think. Not just hauntings, but more subtle activity than that. Sometimes it can be just a flicker of movement out of the corner of your eye. I'm hoping to draw like-minded people into the conversation."
