Memorable conversations with listeners

When you work on-air at a radio station, you never know who will call the request line.  Here are a few of my favorite exchanges with listeners:

LISTENER: I like that song you just played.  It's a good pop song, and I haven't heard a good pop song since "Winchester Cathedral."
ME: Wow, not since 1966, then...Glad you liked it.

ME: So, Halloween's coming up.  Have you chosen a costume?
LISTENER:  Yes.  Iambic pentameter.

LISTENER:  Hi!  You said it's 60 degrees where the station is?
ME: Yes?
LISTENER: Well, I'm calling from Chesterfield, and it's a nice, cool 58 degrees here.
ME: So, it's a pleasant morning, then.
LISTENER: Yep, it's a great day here in Chesterfield.  I'm just driving around Chesterfield, listening to the station, and I'm enjoying the music as I cruise around Chesterfield.
ME:  Well, that's great. Thank you for listening.
LISTENER:  Sure thing!  It's good to be able to hear the music here in Chesterfield.
ME:  I appreciate that.  Thank you for calling.
LISTENER:  You're welcome.  Talk to you guys later, from Chesterfield.
