What made you want to get a job in the radio industry?
What began as helping to answer the phones for Barry Clayson at Connect FM; progressed into producing his show for him; then eventually producing and presenting my own show as well as his, here at HFM. All in all, it was a progressive move within the media, and entertainment business.
