Our scene is set in a darkened room late at night; the room is pitch black… That is, except for a white computer screen glowing brightly to your right.
Upon closer inspection, you see words on the screen; evidently, somebody was here earlier and forgot to sign out of their webmail service. Curious, you sit down at the computer and begin to read...

Good morning, Mr. King.
At Apple Music, we strive to continue offering a unique product that sets the bar for the rest of the music industry, and Beats 1 is the focal point, with endless live and on-demand content in the palm of the consumer’s hand.
We are always looking for unique voices to fill our musical space, and we believe your personality, your willingness to express yourself, and your varied musical tastes would be a good fit for a Beats 1 radio show.
Please let me know if you're interested, and we will work on getting some ideas on paper.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Larry Jackson

Thinking this could be something big, you furiously type notes into your phone and screenshot the emails to back up what you're seeing. Then, you continue to scroll.

Hi, Larry, and thank you for the email.
This sounds great! I'm preparing for my next match right now, but I am certainly interested in speaking with you about the idea.
As for ideas, I would envision it being something like Josh Homme’s The Alligator Hour, just riffing about different things and playing stuff I like, or something I think fits the occasion.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, Ace
The Alligator Hour is certainly one of Beats 1’s more popular and eccentric offerings, and that blueprint could certainly work for your show.
I'm glad to hear of your interest, as we believe your voice can fill a market and demographic we don't do a great job of covering.
Let me know some of the other details you're thinking of, and we'll work on ironing out the logistics to get you on the air as soon as possible!
Thank You
Sincerely,
