Yes, Adam... the man who began his career in the humble trenches of local radio, bravely battling dodgy studios, malfunctioning carts, and presenters who thought “dead air” was a genre. And somehow, through sheer talent and possibly witchcraft, went on to read the news on BBC Radio 2 alongside Zoe Ball, sounding calm, authoritative, and absolutely nothing like the rest of us before 9am.

In this episode, Adam takes us on a journey from his early days of “making it up as he went along” to delivering the nation’s headlines with the confidence of a man who definitely ironed his shirt this morning. Expect tales of triumph, terror, and the occasional technical disaster that the BBC would prefer we didn’t mention.

A gloriously funny, sharply polished, BBC‑announcer‑approved adventure from local lad to national legend.

A fast, funny, wonderfully nerdy ride with a man who’s survived the industry, charmed the audience, and only occasionally regenerated into someone HR had to have a word with.

Expect stories, surprises, and the kind of BBC‑grade professionalism that somehow survives even the most chaotic moments.

A brilliantly entertaining episode with a man who truly does it all, and has the weaponry to prove it.

Peter lifts the lid on the wild world of radio production, where every day brings a new challenge, a new crisis, and at least one request that makes you question whether people understand how microphones work. From the mildly ridiculous to the utterly unhinged, he’s seen it all… and he’s finally naming names (well, sort of).

A hilarious deep dive into the chaos behind the calm, featuring jingles, deadlines, diva moments, and the kind of production nightmares that would make lesser mortals run for the hills.

From early‑morning mayhem to behind‑the‑scenes stories that will make every radio producer break into a cold sweat, Stuart brings the full McGinley experience. Expect laughs, farts, nostalgia, and at least one moment where you think, “How on earth is he still employed in this industry?”

A loud, lively, and utterly unmissable episode.

Sally spills the beans on her climb up the ladder, the characters she met along the way, and the bizarre situations only local radio can produce. From closing deals to calling the shots, she’s proof that if you stick around long enough, someone will eventually hand you the keys to the building.

A funny, fast‑paced trip through the world of accidental leadership and radio‑station survival skills.

This episode dives into the chaos, charm, and sheer determination it takes to keep a station buzzing, all told with Kathryn’s trademark humour and honesty. From newsroom madness to promotional mayhem, she’s seen it all, and somehow lived to tell the tale.

This episode dives into the rollercoaster ride of starting a station from scratch while the rest of the world was baking banana bread.
