Sometimes, when you play bumper music on your talk show, it's hard to know when to fade out of it. One radio talk show host faced this dilemma recently with Bob Seger's "Night Moves." If he'd jumped in too early, he would have stepped on Seger's heavy emoting, and the audience wouldn't have heard that Seger had "started hummin' a song from 1962!!"
The host admitted, "I wasn't sure when to break in." He made the right choice, though, to start speaking after Seger sang, "...with Autumn closin' in..."
Ultimately, it's a good idea to let the bumper music enhance the show without stepping on it.
