Mystery Hour with James O'Brien on LBC.

Four minutes after 12 is the time and mystery hour is upon us once again,

your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction utterly unavailable on any other form of media.

It is all about the knowledge.

In fact, I issue a cast iron, gold plated.

Can it be cast iron and gold plated?

Of course it can.

You can gold plate cast iron.

Anyway, it's a guarantee that by 1 o'clock today, you will know more than you do now.

It may not be knowledge you're particularly grateful for,

or indeed find any use whatsoever for subsequently,

but it will, in total, be more than you've currently got.

It's the radio equivalent, I suppose, of those newspaper columns,

where you write in with a question and someone else writes in with the answer,

except much, much more fun.

Here's the deal. 0.345-60-9773 is the number to call. If you have a question that needs an answer,

a who, a why, a where, a when, a whither, a what, a wherefore, possibly, depending on your perspective, even a whence. It can be as serious or as silly as you like. There are no real rules except repetition and dullness are our enemies. If you've got a question that we've dealt with before or which Michael and Talia find dull, and I'm afraid their decision is final. You'll be politely invited to jog on unless it's Michael who's taken the call, in which case there'll be nothing polite about it at all.
