Hello.
Hope you enjoyed the episodes of old newscast we put in the newscast feed over the weekend.
The first batch were about the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in South Africa.
Lots of people seem to enjoy them,
including newscaster Rick, who says he loves the newscast concept,
although he is the person that first suggested we should call it pass cast instead of newscast.
I think we're going to disagree on that, Rick.
But what I am intrigued by is your suggestion for another one where he says,
as a 76 year old, I can vividly remember the Cuban Missile Crisis,
but recognize that in those days,
the general public got even less detailed news of the unfolding event than would be the case now.
Can I suggest you might broadcast a past cast on the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Although Rick then goes on,
I recognize it might be a bit difficult to round up many people with firsthand experience of those days.
Maybe we'll call on you, Rick,
as somebody who presumably was tuned into the radio to find out
if the human race was going to end because of that big argument between the USA and the Soviet Union about missiles being parked in Cuba.
Right.
If you've got ideas for future old newscasts,
