Late Shift is a late night radio personality in the human world.
She talks a little bit about everything and nothing.
Humans are weird that way, they'll chat about nothing for hours and still feel accomplished.
She's not whining though, it pays the bills.

Late Shift.
Short time listener, first time caller.
How are the ergonomics at the radio station?
Have they made everything easily accessible and comfortable for you?
/\ /\
Damn, that was a good one! Love the story so far!
Evenin', Miss Shift.
I'm a beat cop* who gets the night schedule.
I'm partners with an Earth Pony from the Apple Family.
The guy says that he has family all over and claims that you're an Apple. Can you confirm or deny that?
I am really looking forward to where this story goes.
*I'm not really, it's just my character.
Hmm. Shouldn't this have the human tag?
10275372
Oi, yeppers.
I'm Forgetful for a reason.
10275352
Lol, ty hon!
Hello Late Shift, you can call me Kitsune. I was wondering if you like apples?
Birmingham, Alabama? So... we should expect some of the stuff that Jeff Goldblume got famous for making jokes about?
10275513
Maybe...
Dear Late Shift,
First time caller. I've been researching Equestrian history, and bat ponies aren't featured in the Hearth's Warming Pageant story. What happened to the bat pony tribe and why isn't it featured in the story? Thanks.
What are your thoughts on durians?
Hi Late Night Mangoes,
Just started tuning in during my night shifts, and you know what I find wierd, between Earth and Equestria?
It's the little differences.
I mean, there's the same stuff here that we have in Equestria, but it's different.
Example, I've just started working as an electro-technical engineer in testing and inspection, and they have this thing called Ohm's law, governs just about everything electrical.
It's the same as Clover's law! But for electricity instead of magic.
How wierd is that?
Evenin' Late Shift, love the show.
Three quick questions:
Why did you decide to live and work on Earth?
Do you miss anything from Equestria?
And is there a way to send fanmail to you?
Hey, Late Shift.
What do you think about volcanoes? Are they cool?
You know, besides the ash you would have to sweep out.
Hey Late Shift!
From one pony to another, what jobs are ponies most likely going to be able to get (and keep)? So far, none of the hoo-mans will take me seriously. :(
Heyoo, Late Shift.
Is it true all bat ponies have an insatiable hunger for mangoes?
10275614
Durians? What are they?
What does PoE mean? Ponies on Earth?
Awesome.
By the way, what kind if shenanigans does Late Shift get into?

They are a fruit that, depending on genetics, either smells like a garbage fire with a rotting corpse as garnish, or as something mind numbingly sweet. The taste has been described as a rich custard with almonds with occasional flashes of other food like onion sauce, sherry, or cream cheese. It is the only fruit I am aware of that has been banned in a number of countries.
Hello, fellow ungulate!
All I need is a straight and to-the-point answer to the question that been bugging me ever since I heard of you. Night vision or echolocation? Or are those bat elements you got just useless?
Hey Late Shift, Do you ever miss Equestria? And if so, What is it you miss about it the most?
I was right.
This is gonna be a fun ride.
Night Shift, I think there must be some bat ponies in my family tree, as I am awake more often under Moon than under Sun.
Hey, Night Shift. As a black and hole-filled changeling living among humans, I've been trying for months to form actual friendships. However, they either run from me at first sight or hug me a little too tight. The police here have prohibited me from shapeshifting and I'm starting to run low on love... and caffeine. Any advice?
I'm loving this!
Is there any other species you would like to meet?
So miss shift, need a bit of advice from you. I`m a night guard at a museum, recently we`ve got a new member on our little force. Cutest little bat pony you`ll ever see if you ask me. Asked her out and she said yes!
Now here`s the problem. I`m quite well aware of some cultural differentials. So is there anything or any topic i should absolutely avoid when we meet up tomorrow? I really want it to succeed.
Hey Late Shift! You know, I once met a Bat Pony who works in an apple orchard. He doesn't like mangoes or bananas. What would you like to say to them?
Ey fist time listener, First time caller. Favorite song? And favorite radio station that's not this one?
Huh. Could be interesting indeed.
Mm
10278093
Let me guess: try not to be too eager, and avoid talking about the day or the sun.
When do we get more mangoes???
10286269
By the way, what do you think of the OC I sent you?
10286269
Give me like two days, I'll post multiple chapters.
Awesome if bra, I just need to kick my butt into gear.
My new free time, she haunts me.
10286928
Thanks!
Uhh ETA on updoot?
That's quite an amusing start to the story. Hope this gets updated.
Hey, Late Shift.
This is Six String, Guitarist & Vocalist for "The Pones". My question is, Was it difficult adjusting to working with hoomans & working in the hooman world? Was there any discrimination, or any stupid thing like that? By the way, Underlying Bassline, Pounding Percussion, Melodic Rhythm & I really like your show.
Melodic is a Bat Pony too, while Underlying is a Unicorn, Pounding is an Earth Pony & I'm a Pegasus. All we need is an Alicorn who plays piano & we'd have all five Pony races in the band.
I’d argue against Julie on the pay cut. These days only saints take a voluntary cut, and saints usually stand out a bit.
Good evening, Late Shift.
Auburn Winter here. If it isn't too personal, I was wondering what your cutie mark was and what inspired you to become a radio personality.
*Note: Auburn Winter is my batpony/kirin hybrid oc in my profile pic
mangoes is back ^^
Now we wait again for our furry hostess to return once more
*Undead sips his coffee
Sounds like Miss Shift is back in action.
I've missed this. Good work Forgetful!
Giving out that location was a big mistake... As Roz from Frasier stated: "I believe in the strangeness of strangers."

Late Shift believes it's far better to live on the wild side, rather than the mild side. :P

Oh, and it is a real shame she smokes. That would be a real minus for Equestria getting in contact with Earth. It seems like smoking is very rare and limited to pipes in Equestria. I could see it being a lot more common post contact.
10445556
Yeah, She didn't pick up the habit until she came to earth.
The stress of those first few months of uncertainty, drove her to finding a need for calming her nerves.
