Firstly, MEN are welcome, secondly, this is not a big feminist moan or outcry. This is an inspiring, stripped back, no-holds-barred conversation about 'women in radio' with two of my favourite female counterparts in the industry. We dip into Steph's transition from her sucessful broadcasting career on Capital Yorkshire as Simon and what the differences are after having the 'incredible priviledge' of being able to broadcast as a man and now as her true-self, Stephanie. What. A. Hero. Enjoy x

Ep 10: 'Getting into Radio' with Neil Sloan and Chris North

A fun, interesting and honest nose inside the life of music controllers and schedulers in the radio industry from two, long serving, radio professionals and music programmers, Neil Greenslade and Mark Franklin. Listening to Adele’s album before anyone else, receiving gold discs from Ed Sheeran and the moments they’d like to forget including a massive on-air music blunder during the breaking news when Princess Diana died. We get to the nitty, gritty of what it is like to be head of music on radio today.

Ep 9: 'Music on the Radio' with Mark Franklin and Neil Greenslade

A dip into the American radio industry which I adore so much from two different perspectives. An insight from 'Gold Radio' breakfast presenter, Tony Dibbin, on his yearly jaunts across the pond on 'The Dave & Jimmy show' and also my chat from the Tampa Bay studio's of '933 FLZ' with Brian Fink and Rose from 'The Kane Show'. Beware UK radio people, for what you are about to hear, may blow your mind... especially the bit about pausing the adverts?!? Enjoy...
