Desert Island Key Messages
Someone recently emailed to ask if I was related to Roy Plomley, the creator of the long-running BBC radio show Desert Island Discs (his name is often misspelled as Plumley, hence the question). Here’s my answer:
I am not related to Roy Plomley.
Speaking of Roy Plomley, his radio program Desert Island Discs can be used as a variant of the elevator pitch. For those unfamiliar with the program, a guest is asked what music they would want to have with them on a desert island if they were only allowed to bring 8 cds, records, etc. It can be useful to approach media interviews in a similar way: if I’m allowed to make only three points in this interview, what would they be?
How’s that for subtle bridging from the question asked to the answer you want to give?
