Dear David,
I agree with all you say.
But, I had only two minutes to explain the situation.
I was very nervous and the radio guy was not
sympathetic at all.
I just wanted to make them interested because only if
they are interested there was a chance that they will ask
more questions and I'll have more time to speak.
I guess I failed.
Maybe I did wrong, maybe it was a bad idea
