Turn the Radio Up (II)

"Our mid morning guest in the studio is Chandler who has recently been in the news with her extreme ironing attempts. Welcome Chandler, I am glad you brought your ironing board and irons with so that you can show me how to put a crease in a blouse."

"Thank you Nicole, and good morning to all the listeners. I will be happy to show the tricks of the trade Nicole, but we may have to jump off a tree to do it."
"On second thoughts I may just stick with the rumpled look Chandler. Now tell us about extreme ironing and how you got into it".
"Its a long story Nicole, but I suspect that the short version was that one day while touching up my blouse I fell off the chair, and in my efforts to stop the iron from melting me and creasing my blouse I discovered that I was a dab hand at ironing in odd positions. I did some research and found that I wasn't the only one!"
"Have you won any awards yet?"

"Not so far, but I do hold the extreme ironing record for the most seams ironed while falling off a chair."
"Is there a future in extreme ironing?"
"I think at the moment it is more of an extreme sport as opposed to one that has a governing body and world championships. At any rate its not very big amongst Twinns."
"What makes a successful extreme ironer?"
"A lightweight board, an iron that retains heat and that doesn't need a cord to keep it warm, and lots of friends to donate their wrinkled clothing."

"So far you have done your ironing in a number of odd places, what is your ultimate extreme ironing goal?"
"Nicole, I think every extreme ironer wants to skydive and iron, but at this moment I am quite happy to keep my feet on the ground. When I am a bit more accomplished I think I will consider bailing out of a Cessna and putting knife edge creases where they should be."
"How much training do you put in?"
"Well, the ironing part is easy, it's the keeping fit part that is difficult. I have been running up and down the stairs lately to keep myself in trim, and doing weights. Unfortunately it is not that great for the figure, but then all Twinns have the same figure so its not a disaster."
"What advice would you give to any of our listeners that would like to try extreme ironing?"
"Practise and more practise. Start off small with hankies and then work your way upwards until your ironing is faultless and then work on getting into those odd places."

"Thank you Chandler, we hope to see you dropping out of the sky one of these days with your board and blouse. But please remember, don't drop the iron!!!"
"Thank you Nicole, and I think while we have the break I will teach you some tricks."
"I look forward to it Chandler. And now, we are at the bottom of the hour and it's time for some music and requests. I have received a letter from Virginia who says..."

"Dear Nicole, it's great to hear you are working at WTWINN, I would like to dedicate a suitable Piratey type song to all those who participated in International Talk Like A Pirate Day on the 19th of September. Aarrr! Abandon the crowsnest and keelhaul the mainsail. May the bounding main always be filled with pieces o' eight!"

"I must admit I struggled to find suitable Piratey type music Virginia, but then my producer reminded me of a song that came out in 1977 by a local group called McCully Workshop appropriately called "the Buccaneer".

And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
I'll see you swingin' from the yard arm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There's enough gold here to start on
There's enough gold to get high on

"Aaarr... that was enough to make me want to hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail for the high seas. Remember, Radio WTWINN is here for all your brighter broadcasting.
