In the context of the National Sports Week I was guest at the morning show of the DJ’s Mattie and Wietze at Radio Q Music.
The past week these 2 young guys had been active in various sports like zumba, judo, checkers and rowing. Today they wanted to try badminton. A nice opportunity to promote our sport.
At 8.15 AM I arrived at the door of the studio in Amsterdam. After a quick cup of coffee I was taken to the small studio room where these 2 DJ’s and the producer present their early morning show. There was another guest before me, Thom the number 4 in the World Gay contest. He was co host during the last half hour of the show.
At 8.45 my “in depth interview” started. Well not exactly in depth……. After a short introduction I got 10 very interesting questions to answer e.g. do you take the shuttle bus to the airport. So a very serious interview indeed.
After the show the 2 DJ’s could prepare themselves for a Badminton workshop. I had brought them 2 National Team shirts, 2 rackets and a large box full of shuttles. Unfortunately there was no sports hall in the neighbourhood so we had to settle for the basement of the building where a yellow piece of rope between to poles served as a net. Everything necessary to promote our beautiful sport had been taken care of!!!!!!! Or……………..
Still both guys were surprised by the enormous speed of the shuttle and they almost wet their pants of fear to get a shuttlecock in their eye. After all it was a funny and also entertaining morning with a look behind the scenes of a commercial radio station.
