    S03E17 - Mike Toolan

    S03 E16 - Steve Power

    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!

    S03 E14 - Dave Kelly

Funny and fascinating

Well worth a listen to this great podcast, featuring the side of radio that listeners rarely get to find out about. Hair raising stories, laughs and even some serious stuff too. Great to hear what went on behind the shows.
