but this contains some edited 'highlights' (?) from my appearance on City Talk 105.9 on August 24th, 2008. Copyright Bauer radio.

Listen to me! Listen to me! This was a riot...everything from knife crime to new music to Cabinet changes, in this fast-moving Sunday morning show. Originally from a three hour show, this is edited down to a little over half an hour, so if it jumps around a bit...

...in which I talk to Deborah Wilson of the University of Lincoln, on the first full day of the annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and Radio and Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) conventions in Las Vegas. The movie actor Tim Robbins had just made a highly amusing and provocative 'keynote' speech to the assembled 'suits'...and Debbie got to shake his hand!

...rapping with three academics who teach and love radio, 'live' at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas.

...in which I talk to four students from Rowan University in New Jersey, USA who were about to receive an award at the annual Broadcast Education Festival (BEA) in Las Vegas.

...on the demise of UK commercial radio, and the end of the world as we know it?

...in which I try and join in Australia's new year's celebrations '08 (10 hours ahead of the UK:  we have relatives in Brisbane so it seemed like a good idea to join in a trans-global fest' and hear what they were listening to) but it turns out to be slightly underwhelming...

 This was a preview interview for the next day's (BBC Radio 4) programme on the start of the UK's analogue switch-off and digital TV switch-over. This is (ironically!) from an FM analogue recording, hence the hiss! 

Featuring an amazing primary school teacher, whose enthusiasm and dedication - to his pupils and the use of new technology - put many of us to shame! Recorded a the first ever UK Podcamp at the NTI Aston, Birmingham, UK, September 2nd, 2007. 

Recorded at the PodcampUK, NTI, Birmingham, UK on September 2nd, 2007. http://podcamp.uk.com. In which Chris' and I discuss were journalism is going, the wonders of the Internet, surveillance, threats to our liberty, etc. But it's not only light stuff!!
