40 years of my radio work, reports & shows
Listen on:
For over 40 years I have reported from all over the world and met many amazing people. Much of my work was broadcast on BBC Radio 4, Radio 5 Live, The World Service and National Public Radio in America.
I have hundreds of old tapes, reel to reel, cassettes and digital. I've blown off the dust and played some again. They are in no order but tell stories, capture events and provide insight into the past. I hope you enjoy this random selection of my work. This is my personal review and not endorsed by any broadcaster. Click here to visit my WEBSITE and IMDB
