HAYDN PRICE
40 years of my radio work, reports & shows
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

It was a great pleasure to interview civil rights campaigner Samuel Lacy in 1998.
Sam fought for integration in sport and knew it would lead to social change across America and the world. I met him twice in Baltimore. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. He told of the 1920's and his struggle for equality.
