Diary of a Public Radio Slave

Sloan Kennedy loses her job and her engagement in the same week, which leaves her with a new mortgage and no wedding to plan.

The station is full of eccentrics: a student who practises his English accent in the hope of working for the BBC, an elderly gossip who remembers the day of the famous Martian broadcast, and a fundraising director whose ideas go badly wrong. When a pledge drive coincides with a visit from a celebrated host, and the two most difficult women in the building lock themselves in a bathroom, Sloan has to decide whether to risk her job to keep the broadcast going.
