Share a favorite FM107 moment: I was subbing and there were fashion experts…we talked about shoes and I told them I wanted advice on what kind of shoes could give the impression I had ankles. They poo pooed me and told me they were sure I had ankles and as we came to a break said they would take a look and prove me wrong. We went to break, I pulled up my pant legs and they were stunned ….I speak the truth….we all laughed and they admitted I was right.
Share some behind the scenes FM107 gossip: Producers do a lot to make us look good. Annette and I disagree on so much and are so passionate about our beliefs but we actually are very fond of each other.
