My Radio Career
I was a radio presenter for more than 20 years, working at a range of stations – big and small – across the country. In Yorkshire, I hosted breakfast on Viking FM, did all sorts of shows at Hallam FM, weekends at Pulse 1, mid mornings on Pulse 2 and did a few shifts at some other Yorkshire radio stations too.
