SCOTT MUNI WITH BANK ROBBER CAT OLSEN {PHONE INTERVIEW HELD DURING BANK ROBBERY} (RADIO)
Summary
This radio program features an on-air telephone conversation between disc jockey Scott Muni and a man named Cat Olsen, who is in the process of holding up a bank. Olsen called the radio station during Muni's regular program and demanded to talk to the disc jockey about the robbery and the hostages he is holding.
Topics discussed include the following: the reason the bank alarms are not being turned off, despite Olsen's request for peace and quiet; the reason he released some of the hostages; the number of people that are still being held inside the bank; Olsen's other requests; the reason he has withdrawn from society and refuses to trust anyone; Olsen's greetings to people via radio; whether the bank robber wants Muni to be a negotiator between the police and other officials at the scene; Olsen's desire to speak with a woman named Mouse; Muni's decision to go down to the bank to meet Olsen and try to talk him out of the hostage situation; Mouse's insistence that Olsen give himself up; and Muni's departure from the radio station before the end of his shift so he can meet the bank robber face to face. The program concludes with a news, weather, traffic, and sports report. Includes a commercial.
