Like David, I always talk too fast and well having a Yorkshire accent doesn’t help sometimes. I have often asked if they want a translator.

I’ve been on radio 4 and 5, both live, extremely nerve wrecking.

Always good to get some recognition for your hard work and knowledge.

I thought I gabbled a bit, and (story of my life) all weekend I’ve been thinking up all kinds of pithily fascinating and intelligent things I could have said, as opposed to the woolly blather I actually came out with – but there it is.

Back to the business of making a living.

My girlfriend is a radio producer, and I occasionally get roped in to share my ‘expertise’ (or more often, lack of).

But despite having radio journalism training at university, I just can’t get on with it – I speak too fast, stumble over myself, the works. There’s an art to it, and it seems as though you may have it. Good on you.
