I Bet You Won't Read This

Ian Collins is the UK's only National Night Time Phone-in Host. In "I Bet You Won't Read This", he reveals, for the first time, the kind of twisted correspondence that arrives in the post bag when you're at the helm of Britain's most popular late-night radio talk show. The letters selected include the most vile, vitriolic, mad, unfathomable, threatening, and just plain stupid. "It goes with the territory", says Collins. That said, this book provides a hilarious and sometimes worrying peek into the minds of some of the country's oddest letter writers. Additionally, this book takes a look behind the scenes of an ongoing national radio show. Read about the team who put the show together, the people who call, the story of the mad producer, the night the police were called, the day the phones died, and the night nobody listened. For those looking to begin a career in radio, this book also provides a unique insight into some of the mechanics of the radio industry itself and, crucially, outlines the best way in.
