I am sorry to raise suspicions about what is probably a legitimate
opportunity for PR, but I'm remembering the last 8+ months of James Spaid
and his minions showing up like whack-a-moles in one venue after another
trying to make Mickaboo look bad, and the vitriol that some bird sellers
expressed at the SF hearings last year. It's quite possible that this is a
tiny, grass-roots station (perhaps Internet-only?) without a lot of
credentials, that is genuinely trying to help non-profits like ours. But I
think that some disclosure on their end is at least highly desirable.
Could you call back and get his email address, claiming that email is a
better way to reach you? If he gives you a personal address instead of one
that ties back to his station, that is another point of concern, IMO. You
can also thank him for helping NPOs, etc. and ask for his call letters and
frequency so that you can listen to his station. Any good radio guy should
be anxious to give out such information!
Also, can we, in general, opt out of having an interview aired after we have
started participating in the interview? I am thinking of exit strategy in
case the interviewer begins going off on the wrong topic.
