Last night, as Auntie phrased it to me on Twitter, was the breaking of my Best Show cherry. I called in and got on. Yup, got the heave and the ho, but that's the game.
The higher the heave ho ratio, the better the chance of getting on the air, so it's not really luck as much as persistence and, most importantly, SCIENCE.
Thank you Auntie and Erech for the moral support!
(and yeah, I could have been less awkward on my first call. One to grow on.)
(EDIT: also sorry for the digression. my call was not anywhere near a "Best Moment", lol)
