I was born under a red autumn sky in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. In Bournemouth now via 3 years in Berkshire and 4 years at the University of Sheffield taking part in a long psychology experiment which in the end got called a “degree”. Whilst in Sheffield I discovered student radio and spent a year as head of music whilst presenting a punk rock show every week for 3 years.
I managed to get work experience at Radio 1 working on Zane Lowe’s show, whilst I was there I was referred to, by a laughing Colin Murray, as a “little git”, probably due to the fact that I spent 3 months trying to get him to play Boston’s “More than a Feeling” on his show, culminating in 15 minutes dedicated to me and a glorious rendition of More than a Feeling. Success in my eyes!
Zane’s assistant producer advised me to come to Bournemouth and take this course so I decided to take his advice. In my short time here I have already learnt that Radio 4 is cooler than I thought, Radio 3 is weirder than I thought and Q101 in Chicago get away with pretty much everything!
In January 2010 I took on 2 weeks work experience at the Somethin’ Else Sound Directions and co-produced features for BBC 6 Music’s The Music Week under the tutorledge of Ex-MARP, Tom Green as well as returning to Radio 1 to learn from the award nominated Charis Blyth about the live production of the Radio 1 Rock Show. After completing 2 weeks, I was asked to return to Somethin’ Else to help on the production of the BRIT awards and also to start working as broadcast assistant on The Music Week. I have produced features on John Cale, Todd Rundgren, La Roux, Gorillaz, Eddie Kramer and many more.

Times Like These is the comedy panel quiz testing the team's knowledge of popular culture over the decades.
This episode we look back at childhood toys & cartoons in "Growing Pains", trawl through celebrity oddities in "Celebrity Landfill" & pay attention to old public service announcements in "Safety First". Only to find some of the panel's toys were hugely inappropriate, the current political landscape is a remake of Star Wars & the dinosaurs may have been wiped out by pornographic magazines.
Mog McIntyre keeps an eye on our feuding panellists with 80/90's Team Captain Tom Eames joined by Sophie Petzal, writer & actor for numerous productions including comedy sketch show The Unprofessionals & darkly comic play Cause Celebre. Joining 60's/70's team captain Mathew Priest is BIRSt's very own Programme Controller & Rock Climber Christopher Brooke.
