On the week of Viking FM’s 40th birthday, former breakfast show presenter Simon Logan chats to Foxy about wind ups, the consequences of having a branded car, and being taken off breakfast... and being put back on!

Foxy chats to Manchester radio legend Mike Toolan about how he wanted to be a mathematician; freaked out a colleague so much they brought in a gun; and how he felt when he was replaced on the Key breakfast show... and when he was reinstated.

Стив Пауэр любит поезда.
Just a little message for anyone who can understand Russian there. That doesn't include the guest on this episode, Steve Power, who ended up accidentally studying the language. There may have been drink involved.
Steve must have been one of the longest serving breakfast show jocks ever. 17 BLOOMIN' YEARS! And not your lightweight 6am start nonsense. He was waking up the South of England from 5.30am!
Most recently he's been on air at a much more civilised time of day, but his beloved Wave 105 has just been Greatest Hits Radioified, so he's hanging up his headphones... for now at least.
What a career to date though. He made tea at BBC Radio Sussex; ran Southern FM and Power FM under Richard Park; and went national on Virgin Radio too. But it's his mighty stint at Wave 105 that he's probably best known for.
During his chat with Foxy he talks about how he didn't enjoy being a PD; how he has no time for people who live in radio's past, and tells us about a case of mistaken identity at a nightclub PA in Wellingborough!
