I like the interplay between these two. There's a lot of tension, all masked with that almost invisible patina of civility. I also like the difference between the on-the-air conversation and what's going on while the rest of the world is listening to the music. I always suspected radio announcers led some sort of double life, now I know! ;-)
The comment about Mike listening so hard... LOL! I could just see his ear flicking around like a cat's!
Am I to assume that Geoff is Adrian from that sexy homework you posted many, many moons ago?
You wouldn't believe what goes on at a radio station when the mikes are off. Or, I should say, went on back when radio was live. Phone calls, fights, sex...all behind the scenes, and the listeners never knew. It was fun, and I miss it. Which is a big reason this book is set around a radio station in the early 80s.
And, yep, Geoff is Adrian. I must admit to having a hard time letting go of Jay's personality, but Geoff is really starting to assert himself. He's much more arrogant and jaded, and pretty much the son of a bitch Sherry called him. He does get better as the book goes on, but here near the beginning, he's a real snot. *G*
