"Whats the frequency Kenneth?" -Michael Stipe, 94

 

 

A school careers teacher once gave me a booklet with the uninspiring title of "So You Want To Be An Estate Agent?"  In a fit of adolescent pique I wrote across the top "No I don't ,I want to be a radio presenter."  The thrashing was worth it , great days.

 

 

I CAN CURRENTLY BE HEARD ON ..

BBC RADIO SUFFOLK

Even BBC radio presenters need to take a holiday. When they do, I keeps their seats as warm as my buttocks will allow. Lunchtime, Drivetime, Anytime.

Listen to my Showreel. 

Since 2010 I have been putting my unerring sense of direction to good use by acting as Traffic and Travel presenter on the breakfast show.

I was also the "Simon half" of  Matt & Simon    Sundays 2-4pm

Blazing through Suffolk like a comet, leaving behind a trail of confusion, Matt and Simon spent three years trying to change radio one atom at a time. We climbed Suffolk's highest point (which is about seven inches) Chased oddly shaped clouds in a brightly coloured van, became involved in an argument while digging for fossilized faeces and recreated the 1969 moon landings by prancing about in slow-mo with charity collection buckets on our heads.

This is what we looked like.

Check out our showreel

The week before our final show we decided to give anyone who was remotely interested an "access all areas" backstage glimpse at the sheer hard work that went into creating our unique brand of radio magic. Enjoy

One of our most popular adventures involved going up in a light aircraft, being dropped off at a mystery location and then having to find our way home. This is how it began. Chocks Away!

 

The emotion packed final link of our last BBC show has been known to reduce grizzled Suffolk lorry drivers to tears. There's no shame in sobbing so grab a tissue and brace yourself. 

If you want to keep track of our movements...

I co presented the award winning  "Urban Sofa Beat Collective" with Mathew Marvell. Laying bare the minutiae of our ten year friendship in a two hour speech based show ,listeners found themselves sucked into our tepid world and then unable to escape. The Urban Sofa was also a very successful podcast with listeners around the world. Visit the complete Urban Sofa Podcast archive here.

I also co presented the Monday morning breakfast show, interviewing guests, dissecting the news and trying to come to grips with my female co presenters love of the band G4.

Oh yeah, and I was the co writer and presenter of a comedy show called "Chimps In Suits"

I was a co presenter on the daily afternoon show which was broadcast from a glass fronted studio in a Coventry shopping arcade.
