Someone somewhere sold my radio station email address to a database or two a couple of years ago and now I’m getting every book publisher, political expert, comedian and weird psychic wanting to be interviewed. This one landed in my inbox today. Worst media spam ever. Here it is, unedited:

If you heard something good on the radio    You probably did      That’s because a good radio has you gossiping all day about what you heard

Why have a psychic on your station  basically  because it is good gossip  It is fun and entertaining  (if its the right psychic ;me LOL) Listeners love to hear the interactions with the callers and the guest   Yes the phone lines will light up as they do for all contests to win but what they win when they call the psychic is something just for them

I am a fun talented radio personality  who wants to be on your station

All the listeners to your show can go to my web site and get one free question  which will be answered within 3 weeks    Yes it is true being on stations for years and having listeners complain that they cant get through has lead me to offer this    Of Course my real desire is to be on air with you    I am known as a very entertaining psychic   who makes the audience smile as i look int the future of listeners
You can call my cell to set up a time to be on air with you  or just link and give your listeners a freebee
Media  Psychic
cell XXX XXX XXXX

Wow, you’ll answer my listeners’ questions in 3 weeks? How do you work so fast?
