Just had my first full chat with a researcher, Lowri, for a segment on, Bore Cothi, sometime next week. The chat went well but having to concentrate fully for 10 minutes whilst talking about my background was really exhausting. With no face or gestures to give me clues it really had me digging deep…
Happily, Lowri was great and it turns out we’ve drank at the same pub in Llandwrog occasionally. What’s more you receive a small stipend.

Yes, wasn’t he wonderful and such a good advertisement for SSiW - I could easily understand every word he said and I LOVED the accent!!!

Did you do it live or pre-record, Gaby?
We recorded the interview just before the program started, but they aired it pretty much as it was.

Thanks, Gaby! The show contacted me last week with an invite for the New Year - which I’ve said yes to - giving me a choice of live or pre-record: I think I’ll go pre-record. Diolch!

Kim,
Did that go out on today’s (i.e. Thursday 15th Jan) Bore Cothi?
I had a quick skim through the iplayered programme , but have not manage to catch you so far (although I am more aurally challenged than usual at the moment, which isn’t helping).
Diolch,
Mike
It didn’t. I must have misunderstood what I was told - which doesn’t surprise me. It was great to talk to, Shân, but I realised after that there might be a disconnect to what she was asking - I heard - and how I replied. Which is normal for me even in English.

Gwych!
Kim, you’ve done so well. I’m so proud of you. I still remember your first Bootcamp, and now here you are chatting away on radio with Shân Cothi (or should that be Sheila Cothi?!..;-)). Hollol, hollol wych.
And diolch yn fawr iawn for such a great plug for the course

Mae wastad yn ysbrydoledig clywed dysgwyr eraill ar y radio (yn enwedig un sy’ dw i 'di cyfarfod wyneb-i-wyneb).
Da iawn ti!
