Radio Roundtable

It was a crazy temporal cat's cradle of effects. At one end was him with a certain frame of mind, and a certain station on the radio. Reaching back, it influenced writers and singers to put the message in some innocuous form, a bit of nudge and he picked the right station and the station picked the write song. Each was a back and forth message that had some per-determined but flexible number of participants. Certain words were understood to come from one direction or another, though the exact meaning would have to be teased out to other participants in some more conventional form. Handy were the lighting round free association from certain talk segments. Asides, locations, positions, results were all a jumble of meaningful sound bytes that could serve as impromptu illustrations. It didn't work all the time, but he could feel it when it did.
